This post is a continuation to my post Taking a Mongodump using Knife . Keeping the assumptions the same as the previous post, this post outlines a knife plugin to restore your mongo database from a dump taken as above. module KnifePlugins   class MongoDumpApply < Chef::Knife     banner 'knife mongo dump apply'         option :db_env,       :long => '--db-env DB_ENV',       :description => 'Environment to apply the dump to'      option :dump_dir,       :long => '--dump-dir DUMP_DIR',       :description => 'Full path to dump location'    deps do       require 'chef/search/query'    end     def run       @dump_dir = config[:dump_dir]       @env = config[:db_env]      if !vali...

Assume 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 running web servers on port 80 and 192.168.1.3 running haproxy on port 8181. Starting with HAPROXY set up. 1.  Install haproxy.        yum install -y haproxy 2.  Edit the haproxy configuration to update the backend web servers and keep it at the basic log level.     global   log 127.0.0.1   local2   chroot          /var/lib/haproxy   pidfile         /var/run/haproxy.pid   maxconn         4096   user            haproxy   group           haproxy   daemon   ...
