## Example Playbook
|
||
|
||
* Use defaults vars :
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
- hosts: mynode.DOMAIN
|
||
roles:
|
||
- role: ipr-cnrs.netdata
|
||
tags: ['role::netdata', 'ipr']
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* Use your own Netdata's configuration as source :
|
||
|
||
``` yml
|
||
- hosts: mynode.DOMAIN
|
||
roles:
|
||
- role: ipr-cnrs.netdata
|
||
netdata__etc_src: '{{ inventory_dir + "/../resources/host/mynode.DOMAIN/etc/netdata/" }}'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* Ensure your directory contains only templates or sub-directories, such as :
|
||
|
||
``` sh
|
||
mynode.DOMAIN
|
||
└── etc
|
||
└── netdata
|
||
├── fping.conf.j2
|
||
├── health_alarm_notify.conf.j2
|
||
├── netdata.conf.j2
|
||
└── node.d
|
||
├── named.conf.md.j2
|
||
├── README.md.j2
|
||
├── sma_webbox.conf.md.j2
|
||
└── snmp.conf.md.j2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* Listen on LAN, be careful, Netdata is not designed to be exposed (see [issue 64][netdata issue 164]) :
|
||
``` yml
|
||
- hosts: mynode.DOMAIN
|
||
roles:
|
||
- role: ipr-cnrs.netdata
|
||
netdata__etc_src: '{{ inventory_dir + "/../resources/host/mynode.DOMAIN/etc/netdata/" }}'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* You can at least limit the access to the port **19999** to known ip addresses with your firewall [see the documentation about security][netdata wiki security],…
|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
|
||
This role will :
|
||
* Install needed packages to provide `netdata` service.
|
||
* Manage Netdata configuration directory (/etc/netdata).
|
||
* Ensure Netdata service is enabled and started.
|
||
* Set up some basics configuration (bind ip, port,…).
|
||
|
||
## Development
|
||
|
||
This source code comes from our [Gogs instance][netdata source] and the [Github repo][netdata github] exist just to be able to send the role to Ansible Galaxy…
|
||
|
||
But feel free to send issue/PR here :)
|
||
|
||
Thanks to this [hook][gogs to github hook], Github automatically got updates from our [Gogs instance][netdata source] :)
