Install, configure, and launch the [Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Agent] (http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/install-the-cloud-monitoring-agent) to enable Rackspace monitoring.

For Debian/Ubuntu, this module depends on puppetlabs-apt.

You can create a monitoring instance in one of two ways: either by providing a service agent monitoring token like this:

class { 'cloudmonitoring':
  monitoring_token => 'ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.000000'  
}

...or by providing your username and API key to authenticate to Rackspace (via raxmon) like this:

class { 'cloudmonitoring':
  username => "myRackspaceUsername",
  apikey   => "myApiKey",
}
