I build, self-host and sometimes break software in production — writing about AI tooling, coding agents and infrastructure.

Overview
#

I’m currently creating some agents and facts for MCollective running on Windows Server. All agents are developed on a Windows XP machine and then tested and deployed on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.

You can find all the sources on my GitHub repo: https://github.com/mmornati/mcollective-windows

Available Agents and Facts
#

In the README.md file, there’s a description of facts and agents I created with a little usage doc.

Currently there are:

  • DNS Fact: add DNS information on inventory response
  • Service Agent: to show Windows services status and control them
  • EventLog Agent: to get event log messages

Usage

Enjoy, and if you will use them, let me know if you find any problems or bugs.
