williamyeh.prometheus for Ansible Galaxy

Summary

Role name in Ansible Galaxy: williamyeh.prometheus

This Ansible role has the following features for Prometheus:

Install specific versions of Prometheus server, Node exporter, Alertmanager.
Handlers for restart/reload/stop events;
Bare bone configuration (real configuration should be left to user's template files; see Usage section below).

To keep this role simple, this role only installs 3 components: Prometheus server, Node exporter, and Alertmanager. Use the following roles if you want to install other Prometheus exporters:

Consul: William-Yeh.consul_exporter
Elasticsearch: William-Yeh.es_cluster_exporter
MongoDB: williamyeh.mongodb_exporter

Optional: building from source tree

(Credit: Robbie Trencheny)

For aforementioned prometheus_components, you can optionally download/compile from the master branch of Prometheus repositories by setting the respective version to git.

It will install a temporary Golang compiler in the prometheus_workdir directory (defined in defaults/main.yml).

For example, get the latest code for all components by assigning all *_version variables to git:

prometheus_version: git
prometheus_node_exporter_version: git
prometheus_alertmanager_version: git

If you'd like to force rebuild each time, enable the following variable (default is false):

prometheus_rebuild: true

Handlers

Prometheus server:

restart prometheus
reload prometheus
stop prometheus

Node exporter:

restart node_exporter
reload node_exporter (actually, the same as restart)
stop node_exporter

Alertmanager:

restart alertmanager
reload alertmanager
stop alertmanager

Usage

Step 1: add role

Add role name williamyeh.prometheus to your playbook file.

Step 2: add variables

Set vars in your playbook file, if necessary.

Simple example:

---
# file: simple-playbook.yml

- hosts: all
  become: True
  roles:
    - williamyeh.prometheus

  vars:
    prometheus_components: [ "prometheus", "alertmanager" ]

    prometheus_alertmanager_url: "http://localhost:9093/"

Step 3: copy user's config files, if necessary

More practical example:

---
# file: complex-playbook.yml

- hosts: all
  become: True
  roles:
    - williamyeh.prometheus

  vars:
    prometheus_components:
      - prometheus
      - node_exporter
      - alertmanager

    prometheus_rule_files:
      this_is_rule_1_InstanceDown:
        src:  some/path/basic.rules
        dest: basic.rules

    prometheus_alertmanager_conf: some/path/alertmanager.yml.j2

Step 4: browse the default Prometheus pages

Open the page in your browser:

Prometheus - http://HOST:9090 or http://HOST:9090/consoles/node.html
Alertmanager - http://HOST:9093
