This Ansible role installs and configures the Dynatrace AppMon WebServer Agent of the Dynatrace AppMon solution.

Note: this role merely makes the Dynatrace AppMon WebServer Agent available, but it does not configure your web server to actually load it. See the Dynatrace-Apache-HTTPServer-Agent-Ansible role for an example that does.

The role is available via:

• Ansible Galaxy
• GitHub

This role downloads and installs the most recent version of the Dynatrace AppMon Web Server Agent from http://downloads.dynatracesaas.com. Alternatively, you can place the installer artifact as dynatrace-wsagent-linux-x64.tar in the role's files directory from where it will be picked up during the installation. The default file name and URL can be overridden via the dynatrace_wsagent_linux_installer_file_name and dynatrace_wsagent_linux_installer_file_url attributes, respectively. Please refer to defaults/main.yml for a list of supported attributes.

As defined in defaults/main.yml:

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - role: Dynatrace.Dynatrace-WebServer-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).
