Ansible : Playbook Telegraf

The aim of this project is to deploy Telegraf agent on Linux Vagrant instance.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

What things you need to run this Ansible playbook :

$ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

A good point with Vagrant is that you can create, update and destroy all architecture easily with some commands.

Be aware that you need to be in the Vagrant directory to be able to run the commands.

To deploy Telegraf on Vagrant instances, just run this command :

$ vagrant up

If everything run as expected, you should be able to list the virtual machine created :

$ vagrant status

Current machine states:

telegraf01                   running (virtualbox)

If everything run as expected, you should have Telegraf installed and configured on the Vagrant instance.

To destroy the Vagrant resources created, just run this command :

$ vagrant destroy

This section list some simple command to use and manage the playbook and the Vagrant hosts.

To update the Telegraf configuration with Ansible, you just have to run the Ansible playbook telegraf.yml with this command :

$ ansible-playbook telegraf.yml

To update the Telegraf configuration with Vagrant, you just have to run provisioning part of the Vagrant file :

$ vagrant provision

To be able to connect to a Vagrant instance, you should use the CLI which is configured to automatically use the default SSH key :

$ vagrant ssh telegraf01
