Default node settings

When you deploy Chef 360 Platform for the first time or create a new organization with default node settings, Chef 360 Platform creates a default set of skills, override settings, a skill assembly, and a node cohort for that organization. This page documents these node defaults.

Node Management agent

The Node Management agent has the following default settings:

• It fetches skills from Chef’s public Habitat Builder.
• It fetches skills from the stable release channel.
• It checks in with Chef 360 Platform every hour.
• It updates skill definition metadata every hour.
• Its log level is warning.

For more information, see the Node Management agent documentation

Cohort

The default node cohort is called sample-node-cohort and includes the default override settings and default skill assembly.

For more information, see the Managing Node Cohorts documentation.

Skill assembly

The default skill assembly is called sample-skill-assembly and includes the following skills:

• Chef Infra Client interpreter skill
• Courier Runner skill
• Gohai skill
• Inspec interpreter skill
• Restart interpreter skill
• Shell interpreter skill

sample-skill-assembly includes the latest versions of all skills:
