Check existance of AWS_KEY, .pem, id_rsa and .key files. Opts has the
following fields:
Report to stdout. If opts.summary=true it will report a summary only.
Report a summary to HipChat. Opts has the following fields:
Report a summary in xunit xml. Useful to integrate with CI solutions. Unlike
other reporters, this will be reported as pass / fail. Opts has the following
fields:
process.stdout by default$ git clone https://github.com/TabDigital/org-checks
const checkCredentials = require('org-checks/input/credentials')
const toHipchat = require('org-checks/output/hipchat')
const toHtml = require('org-checks/output/html')
const orgChecks = require('org-checks/device')
const hipchatAuth = { room: '208899', token: '<token>' }
const ghAuth = { username: 'foobar', token: '<token>' }
const org = 'tabDigital'
const output = [ toHipchat(hipchatAuth), toHtml('/tmp/org-status.html') ]
const input = [ checkCredentials(org, ghAuth) ]
orgChecks(input, output)
Each input should return data in the following format to the device:
{ "name": "credentials:aws-keys", "type": "error", "data": "https://binbaz.com" }
{ "name": "credentials:.pem", "type": "error", "data": "https://foobar.com" }
{ "name": "credentials:aws-keys", "type": "summary", "data": { "total": 40, "pass": 24, "fail": 16 } }
There are 2 types that can be returned:
total, pass and fail
count. Useful for short form reporters. If there is no total count (e.g.
cannot be expressed as a percentage), only the fail key should be included.The name key can be namespaced using : to distinguish between topics and
sub topics. This distinction is useful for output formatters to control the
amount of detail to display.
