This Ansible role installs and configures the Dynatrace WebServer Agent of the Dynatrace AppMon solution for the Apache HTTP server.

Note: you will have to restart the web server after placing the agent.

The role is available via:

• Ansible Galaxy
• GitHub

This roles depends on the following roles:

• Dynatrace-WebServer-Agent

This role downloads and installs the most recent version of the Dynatrace WebServer Agent package from http://downloads.dynatracesaas.com and integrates the agent with the Apache HTTP server. The default download link can be overridden via the dynatrace_wsagent_linux_installer_file_url attribute. Alternatively, you can place the installer artifact as dynatrace-wsagent.tar in the role's files directory from where it will be picked up during the installation. Please refer to defaults/main.yml for a list of supported attributes.

As defined in defaults/main.yml:

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - role: Dynatrace.Dynatrace-Apache-HTTPD-Agent

We use Test Kitchen to automatically test our automated deployments with Serverspec and RSpec:

1. Install Test Kitchen and its dependencies from within the project's directory:

gem install bundler
bundle install

2. Run all tests

kitchen test

By default, we run our tests inside Docker containers as this considerably speeds up testing time (see .kitchen.yml).
