Ansible Role datadog-check-nsd

This is an Ansible role that helps you install a Datadog agent check for NSD, which is a name server that only gives authoritative answers.

Quick Guide

To start, create a requirements.yml file like this:

- src: Datadog.datadog
  version: 1.6.1
- src: infothrill.datadog_check_nsd
  version: v1.1.1

Then, install the roles:

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml -p ./roles/

To use these roles in your playbook, you can set it up like this:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: Datadog.datadog
    - role: infothrill.datadog_check_nsd

To configure the NSD check, use the Datadog.datadog role and add an entry in its checks dictionary like so:

nsd:
  init_config:
  instances: [{}]

Dependencies

You can run this role on its own, but it's tested with the role Datadog.datadog. It's best to:

• Install Datadog using the main role.
• Configure the check using the main role.
• Use this role to just deploy the check plugin.
