Prometheus Salt State and Client configuration

This repository contains SaltStack states for installing and configuring the Prometheus monitoring system. It is intended for my personal use but it should be structured so it can be used or modified by anyone.

Overview

There are two main components of this configuration, the server.sls state and the client.sls state.

server.sls does the following:

1. User and Group Creation: Sets up a prometheus user and group to run the Prometheus service.
2. Prometheus Installation: Downloads, extracts and installs the Prometheus binary (version 2.48.1) from the official source.
3. Configuration Management: Manages the Prometheus configuration and service files.

client.sls does the following:

1. Installation of client agent: Downloads and installs node-exporter to provide metrics to the Prometheus server.

Usage

1. Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to your Salt master or appropriate location.
2. Customize: Modify the prometheus.yml and prometheus.service files in the files directory as needed for your setup.
3. Apply the States: Target your intended nodes and apply the respective state.

TODO:

• Client State
  • Node Exporter... works for most cases?
  • Config files
