This is a temporary convenience playbook that updates all plugin configurations for every collectd container on an OpenStack cloud deployed with infrared using a slightly modified version of the collectd-config-ansible-role. Once configurations have been updated on each node, the collectd containers are restarted so that the new configs take effect.
To run, you must be logged into the machine on which openstack was deployed with infrared. Run:
. ~/infrared/.venv/bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/pleimer/update-collectd
cd update-collectd
ansible-playbook -i $(infrared workspace inventory) update-collectd.yaml
Add or remove collectd plugins by updating the collectd_plugins variable.
Change plugin configurations by setting the corresponding variable used in the Jinja2 template (roles/collectd-config-ansible-role/<plugin name>.conf.j2.
