Ansible Role: Blackbox Exporter Description Deploy and manage blackbox exporter which allows blackbox probing of endpoints over HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP and ICMP. Requirements Ansible >= 2.7 (It might work on previous versions, but we cannot guarantee it) gnu-tar on Mac deployer host ( brew install gnu-tar ) Role Variables All variables which can be overridden are stored in defaults/main.yml file as well as in table below. Name Default Value Description blackbox_exporter_version 0.16.0 Blackbox exporter package version blackbox_exporter_web_listen_address 0.0.0.0:9115 Address on which blackbox exporter will be listening blackbox_exporter_cli_flags {} Additional configuration flags passed to blackbox exporter binary at startup blackbox_exporter_configuration_modules http_2xx: { prober: http, timeout: 5s, http: '' } Example Playbook - hosts : all become : true roles : - cloudalchemy.blackbox-exporter Demo site We provide demo site for full monitoring solution based on prometheus and grafana. Repository with code and links to running instances is available on github and site is hosted on DigitalOcean . Local Testing The preferred way of locally testing the role is to use Docker and molecule (v2.x). You will have to install Docker on your system. See "Get started" for a Docker package suitable to for your system. We are using tox to simplify process of testing on multiple ansible versions. To install tox execute: pip3 install tox To run tests on all ansible versions (WARNING: this can take some time) tox To run a custom molecule command on custom environment with only default test scenario: tox -e py35-ansible28 -- molecule test -s default For more information about molecule go to their docs . If you would like to run tests on remote docker host just specify DOCKER_HOST variable before running tox tests. Travis CI Combining molecule and travis CI allows us to test how new PRs will behave when used with multiple ansible versions and multiple operating systems. This also allows use to create test scenarios for different role configurations. As a result we have a quite large test matrix which will take more time than local testing, so please be patient.
