Automate initial deployment of cloudmon

[fkr]

There is a rough guide (https://github.com/costelter/cloudmon-quickstart/blob/main/docs/QuickStartGuide.md) this should be automated with ansible.

Definition of Ready:

• User Story is small enough to be finished within one sprint
• User Story is clear and understood by the whole team
• Acceptance criteria are defined
• Acceptance criteria are clear and understood by the whole team

Definition of Done:

• All acceptance criteria are met
• Changes have been reviewed
• CI tests have run successfully
• Documentation has been updated
• Release Notes have been updated

Thanks to plusserver we want to proceed this task. Cloudmon was installed for testing purposes into my testcloud.
The playbooks reported success but the grafana part claims that there is a SQL error in the querry.
db query error: pg: syntax error at or near ")"

But the current problem is likley an error during the installation process since there is no table to query from. At least the postgress container does not seem to contain any tables.

Since cloudmon is supposed as tool to manage monitoring applications the main issue here
is generating a configuration that fits to a given infrastructure.

Like the quickstart page we may start with generating a valid configuration using apimon in the first place.

But the target may grow based on the supported modules by cloudmon

Okay. Updating the query within grafana shows that the initial query isn't valid (anymore?).
Since there is to less data to say if everything is fine i can say that the dashboard needed a fix.

Edit: The Query itself is okay. The replacement of variables doesn't work in my case....

[master-caster]

It looks like the variable for "environment" isn't filled correctly. Even though graphite is installed
and reachable by browser. The calls by grafana to query the environments seem to get empty results.

Before we progress with this issue, we want to make sure that real-world scenarios (eg. what OpenStack Health Monitor does) is working in a good fashion for us with CloudMon. Once that has been checked, we will invest further time into automation of its deployment.
