Example Playbook

Here's how to use this role, taken from molecule/default/converge.yml. It is tested every time there is a push, pull request, or release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: buluma.metricbeat
      metricbeat_elasticsearch_password: "My-P@s5w0rd."
      metricbeat_modules:
        - name: system
          state: enabled

Make sure the machine is ready. This is done in CI with molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
    - role: buluma.core_dependencies
    - role: buluma.elastic_repo
