Ansible Role: Netdata Installation

An Ansible Role that installs a plain version of Netdata.

Both our Netdata node and Netdata collector role use this role as a common base for installing Netdata.

Requirements

N/A

Role Variables

The role doesn't require any variable to be set. The following are available for customization:

• netdata_installation_version: The version of Netdata that will be installed.
• netdata_installation_certificate: If you plan to use our collector role, we require to provision a certificate to encrypt traffic between client and collector. Set the certificate with this variable.
• netdata_installation_certificate_key: Key for the mentioned traffic certificate.
• netdata_installation_disable_cloud: Set it to yes if your Netdata installation should not make a connection to Netdata cloud.
• netdata_installation_monitor_docker: If set to yes, Netdata will be added to the Docker group (if installed) to monitor containers. Disabled per default.

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

- hosts: myserver
  roles:
    - { role: simplificator.netdata_installation }

Development

Variable naming

To ensure that our Netdata roles remain compatible with each other, follow this variable naming convention:

• Role-specific variables are prefixed with the role name (netdata_installation_ in this case).
• General variables that are used in multiple roles will be prefixed with just netdata_.
