datadog-ansible-raspberrypi

Deprecation warning

This repository is essentially deprecated, as the best way to install the agent on a Raspberry Pi now is to simply use offical Datadog Ansible role and specify:

datadog_agent_flavor: "datadog-iot-agent"

Presentation

The installation of Datadog agent on a Raspberry Pi is possible and well explained in that post. However this might be a bit too manual and time consuming, which is why I decided to create that Ansible role to facilitate tedious work.

Installation process follow this order:

• Install dependencies libpython2.7-dev and sysstat
• Verify agent is installed and if not proceed to installation
• Setup startup command in /etc/rc.local
• Launch Datadog agent

Variables

• datadog_api_key: Your Datadog API key, found here. No default value!
• datadog_agent_home: The directory to install the agent to. Default: /opt/datadog-agent
• datadog_log_file: Override the logging file path. Default: /var/log/datadog-agent.log
• datadog_skip_integrations: Tell installation script to skip integrations installation, values: 1 to skip, 0 to install. Default: 1
• datadog_hostname (optional): Override the hostname reported to Datadog

Example playbook

Minimal

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - { role: ansible-datadog-raspberrypi, become: yes, datadog_api_key: "123456" }

Overriding variables

---
- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - { role: ansible-datadog-raspberrypi, become: yes }
  vars:
    datadog_api_key: "123456"
    datadog_agent_home: "/home/pi/datadog-agent"
    datadog_skip_integrations: 1
