ansible-sysward

This Ansible role will install and set up the SysWard Agent on your system.

Requirements

To use this role, you need:

• Ansible version 2.4 or newer
• A valid SysWard API key

Role Variables

This role has one variable:

• sysward_api_key - This variable stores your SysWard API key. You can find it in your SysWard profile. Make sure to include this variable in your playbook or in your host/group variable files. We suggest storing this key in an Ansible Vault file to keep it secure.

Dependencies

This role has no dependencies.

Example Playbook

After installing the role with the command ansible-galaxy install treehouselabs.sysward, you can use it in your playbooks.

It’s a good idea to store your SysWard API key in an Ansible Vault file for security. If you do this, your playbook could look like this:

- hosts: servers
  become: yes
  become_user: root

  pre_tasks:
    - name: Include Ansible Vault file
      include_vars: secrets.yml 

  roles:
    - { role: treehouselabs.sysward }

If you don’t want to use an Ansible Vault file, you can set the sysward_api_key variable directly in your role like this:

- hosts: servers
  become: yes
  become_user: root

  roles:
     - { role: treehouselabs.sysward, sysward_api_key: APIKEY }
