This Ansible role installs and configures the Agent of the Dynatrace AppMon solution.
Note: this role merely makes the Dynatrace Agent available, but it does not configure your application to actually load any. See the Dynatrace-Java-Agent-Ansible role for an example that does.
The role is available via:
This role downloads and installs the most recent version of the Dynatrace AppMon Agent from http://downloads.dynatracesaas.com.

We use Test Kitchen to automatically test our automated deployments with Serverspec and RSpec:
- Install Test Kitchen and its dependencies from within the project's directory:
gem install bundler
bundle install
- Run all tests
kitchen test
By default, we run our tests inside Docker containers as this considerably speeds up testing time (see .kitchen.yml).
