Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: buluma.metricbeat
      metricbeat_elasticsearch_password: "My-P@s5w0rd."
      metricbeat_modules:
        - name: system
          state: enabled

The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
    - role: buluma.core_dependencies
    - role: buluma.elastic_repo

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.
