prometheus_user: prometheus
prometheus_group: prometheus
prometheus_install_path: '/opt/prometheus'
prometheus_config_path: '/etc/prometheus'
prometheus_pid_path: '/var/run/prometheus'
prometheus_loglevel: 'info'

prometheus_blackbox_exporter_install_path: '{{ prometheus_install_path }}'
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_config_path: '{{ prometheus_config_path }}'
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_pid_path: '{{ prometheus_pid_path }}'
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_user: '{{ prometheus_user }}'
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_group: '{{ prometheus_group }}'
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_loglevel: '{{ prometheus_loglevel }}'
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_listen: '{{ prometheus_blackbox_exporter_listen_ip }}:{{ prometheus_blackbox_exporter_listen_port }}'
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_listen_port: '9115'
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_listen_ip: ''
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_version: '0.14.0'
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_config: 'blackbox.yml'

enable_ufw: false
prometheus_blackbox_exporter_src_access:
  - "{{ ansible_default_ipv4.network }}/{{ ansible_default_ipv4.netmask }}"

For typical deployment you can eventually define enable ufw fw and define src access list Based on defined variables you can set variables common for all prometheus stack

Dependencies

If you want to set fw, you need to have ufw role

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

    - hosts: servers
      roles:
         - role: blackbox_exporter
