jpartain89.install_monit_from_source

I have chosen to no longer work on this repo myself. My apologies.

Installation of Monit from their Git Repo

Role Variables

There are two sets of variable files I use in this role, one in the defaults directory (which contains the variables that are the easiest for you to override) and a debian.yml file in the vars directory, which are "stickier" variables, so-to-speak (these are usually best left alone).

Here is a list of the variables in the default directory:

# This is where the actual monit program will be installed
monit_executable: '/usr/bin/monit'

# This is used for how often the apt-based tasks will also
# update the cache from the source repo's online.
cache_valid_time_var: 86400

# This is monit's git repo address.
monit_git_repo_http: https://[email protected]/tildeslash/monit.git

# This is where the git repo will be cloned to on your destination computer
# This role will actually use the repo to compare version numbers for future
# easy updates.
monit_git_repo_dest: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}/git/monit"

monit_configure_options: "--enable-optimized"
