knife-dot

Knife plugin for Chef to draw a pretty graph of environments, nodes, roles, and recipes.

Requirements

This plugin requires Graphviz. It can generate input files without Graphviz installed, but they are not very useful on their own.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'knife-dot'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install knife-dot

Usage

Without any arguments, generate an input dot file on standard output:

$ knife dot

When arguments are provided, plugin will execute dot command, feeding it the graph on standard input, allowing you to render the graph directly, e.g.:

$ knife dot -Tpng -oservers.png
