Monitoring via Ansible

This playbook can deploy a full monitoring stack with

• Prometheus

• Grafana

• Node Exporter

• Alertmanager

• Uptime Kuma (self built) and possibly

• a MQTT broker

• InfluxDB

• Telegraf

Usage

Install everything with

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=all

Troubleshooting

On Ubuntu I had to install fontconfig manually when setting up grafana.

Restore

When you somehow lost your vars file (that is not under version control) you can find it under /monitoring/vars.yml. on the server. You can deactivate this behaviour by setting vars_yml_snapshotting_enabled: false
