These subcommands allow you to list, show, create, delete -and edit keys for a given user or client. They can be used to implement -key rotation with multiple expiring keys for a single actor or just -for basic key management. See `knife user key` and `knife client key` -for a full list of subcommands and their usage. - -## System Loggers - -You can now have all Chef logs sent to a logging system of your choice. - -### Syslog Logger - -Syslog can be used by adding the following line to your chef config -file: - -```ruby -log_location Chef::Log::Syslog.new("chef-client", ::Syslog::LOG_DAEMON) -``` - -THis will write to the `daemon` facility with the originator set as -`chef-client`. - -### Windows Event Logger - -The logger can be used by adding the following line to your chef config file: - -```ruby -log_location Chef::Log::WinEvt.new -``` - -This will write to the Application log with the source set as Chef. - -## RemoteFile resource supports UNC paths on Windows - -You can now use UNC paths with `remote_file` on Windows machines. For -example, you can get `Foo.tar.gz` off of `fooshare` on `foohost` using -the following resource: - -```ruby -remote_file 'C:\Foo.tar.gz' do - source "\\\\foohost\\fooshare\\Foo.tar.gz" -end -``` - -## WindowsPackage resource supports URLs - -The `windows_package` resource now allows specifying URLs for the source -attribute. For example, you could install 7zip with the following resource: - -```ruby -windows_package '7zip' do - source "http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z938-x64.msi" -end -``` - -Internally, this is done by using a `remote_file` resource to download the -contents at the specified url. If needed, you can modify the attributes of -the `remote_file` resource using the `remote_file_attributes` attribute. -The `remote_file_attributes` accepts a hash of attributes that will be set -on the underlying remote_file. For example, the checksum of the contents can -be verified using - -```ruby -windows_package '7zip' do - source "http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z938-x64.msi" - remote_file_attributes { - :path => "C:\\7zip.msi", - :checksum => '7c8e873991c82ad9cfcdbdf45254ea6101e9a645e12977dcd518979e50fdedf3' - } -end -``` - -To make the transition easier from the Windows cookbook, `windows_package` also -accepts the `checksum` attribute, and the previous resource could be rewritten -as: - -```ruby -windows_package '7zip' do - source "http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z938-x64.msi" - checksum '7c8e873991c82ad9cfcdbdf45254ea6101e9a645e12977dcd518979e50fdedf3' -end -``` +# Chef Client Release Notes 12.5.0: |
