About: ops_tcpdump_handler

This cookbook is for local testing purposes only. It installs and configures tcpdump, then sets that up as a service to monitor traffic during the chef run. At the end of the run, a handler will read and print out the sniffed network traffic. Inspired by huchen.

Usage:

If you are using Berkshelf for dependency resolution add an entry in your Berksfile, probably in a group:

group :development do
  cookbook 'ops_tcpdump_handler'
end

Place the cookbook at the beginning of your local run_list. For example, in vagrant:

cfg.vm.provision :chef_client do |chef|
  chef.add_recipe 'ops_tcpdump_handler'
  chef.add_recipe 'another_recipe'
end

Then, at the end of your run you should see something similar to:

...
==> node01: attempted to connect to: proxy06.fedoraproject.org using http
==> node01: attempted to connect to: mirror.sfo12.us.leaseweb.net using http
==> node01: attempted to connect to: li63-48.members.linode.com using https
==> node01: attempted to connect to: 23.235.40.133 using https

Warning

This is for local testing only. Do not apply this cookbook to a production node.

If your cookbook relies on the runit community cookbook then any calls to the internet made by that cookbook will not show up in the logs as runit has already been configure before this service begins monitoring traffic.
