ansible-role-collectd-plugins

This is not a place where to store collectd plugins. It can:

get_url of a remote file (and check checksum)
copy of a local file, perhaps available in files/
configre the plugin if it's a python plugin or run through exec

Requirements

a list of checks

Role Variables

Example for setting up an iostat exec and some ceph python check copied from the ansible repo:

collectd_plugin_exec_plugins:
  - { path: "../files/iostat_collectd_plugin.rb", name: "iostat_collectd_plugin.rb", user: "nobody:nobody", command: "/usr/local/collectd/plugins/iostat_collectd_plugin.rb" }

collectd_plugin_python_plugins:
  - { path: "../files/ceph_collectd/__init__.py", directory: "ceph", name: "__init__.py" }
  - { path: "../files/ceph_collectd/base.py", directory: "ceph", name: "base.py" }
  - { path: "../files/ceph_collectd/ceph_latency_plugin.py", directory: "ceph", name: "ceph_latency_plugin.py", import: "ceph_latency_plugin",  module_config: [ { "Verbose": "True", "Cluster": "ceph", "Interval": "60" } ] }
  - { path: "../files/ceph_collectd/ceph_monitor_plugin.py", directory: "ceph", name: "ceph_monitor_plugin.py", import: "ceph_monitor_plugin",  module_config: [ { "Verbose": "True", "Cluster": "ceph", "Interval": "60" }]  }
  - { path: "../files/ceph_collectd/ceph_osd_plugin.py", directory: "ceph", name: "ceph_osd_plugin.py", import: "ceph_osd_plugin",  module_config: [ { "Verbose": "True", "Cluster": "ceph", "Interval": "60" }] }
  - { path: "../files/ceph_collectd/ceph_pg_plugin.py", directory: "ceph", name: "ceph_pg_plugin.py", import: "ceph_pg_plugin",  module_config: [ { "Verbose": "True", "Cluster": "ceph", "Interval": "60" }] }
  - { path: "../files/ceph_collectd/ceph_pool_plugin.py", directory: "ceph", name: "ceph_pool_plugin.py", import: "ceph_pool_plugin",  module_config: [ { "Verbose": "True", "Cluster": "ceph", "Interval": "60", "TestPool": "test" } ]  }

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: ansible-role-collectd }
     - { role: ansible-role-collectd-plugins }
