Using the charm in fat mode

In the course of operations, it may come to pass, the need to deploy a charm which does not use an external repository. Rather than maintain a different charm, this charm has the ability to convert itself to a fat charm. Run the make fat command to fetch the logstash package from the internet and insert it into this tree.

When the charm is in fat mode, the apt-repository and apt-key-url are immutable settings. You can change them, but that will remove the charm from fat mode and trigger remote access for apt-repository and apt-key-url.

Configuration

apt-key-url
(string) The URL for the key for the APT repository.
http://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
apt-repository
(string) A sources.list entry line.
deb http://packages.elasticsearch.org/logstash/1.4/debian stable main
extra_config
(string) Extra configuration for logstash.
nagios_context
(string) Used by the nrpe subordinate charms. A string that will be prepended to instance name to set the host name in nagios. So for instance the hostname would be something like: juju-myservice-0 If you're running multiple environments with the same services in them this allows you to differentiate between them.
juju
nagios_servicegroups
(string) A comma-separated list of nagios servicegroups. If left empty, the nagios_context will be used as the servicegroup.
