A simple command line tool to get inventory of Chef nodes from the Chef server and output as MediaWiki wikitext, JSON, YAML, or CSV. The nodes are organized based on their environment.

Prerequisites

1. Ruby 1.9.3+
2. RubyGems

Setup

1. Extract to a system with knife setup.
2. Install Prerequisite Rubygems

Usage

At this point it's fairly simple. If you have the databag_manager_settings.json updated with your configurations; just run the ruby script.

ruby ./chef_vm_inventory.rb

If you'd like to use YAML instead of JSON; either change the default variable in the Ruby script or run the script using the filepath argument.
