Ansible based installation

In the following: we describe how to install Pbench Agent using an ANSIBLE playbook.

:::{note} The same Pbench Agent version must be installed on all the test systems that participate in a benchmark run, there is no support for mixed installations. :::

Setup

  1. Make sure that you have the ANSIBLE package installed.

  2. Install the pbench.agent ANSIBLE collection from Ansible Galaxy.

ansible-galaxy collection install pbench.agent
  1. Tell ansible where to find these roles.
export ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH=$HOME/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/pbench/agent/roles:$ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH
  1. Create an inventory file (~/.config/Inventory/myhosts.inv) naming the hosts on which you wish to install Pbench Agent and the location of the config file. Example inventory file.

:::{note} if you're planning to push performance data to a 0.69 Pbench Server, you need to specify the server's private RSA key. Example inventory file. :::

  1. Use the example playbook or reference it to customize your own.

  2. Run the playbook.

ansible-playbook -i ~/.config/Inventory/myhosts.inv pbench_agent_install.yml
