Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: vector }

Example vector_config_* settings:

--- # Webservers config
vector_config_web:
  sources:
    - name: apache
      files:
        - /var/log/httpd/www.site.com*.log
      service: "httpd"

--- # Database config
vector_config_dbs:
  sources:
    - name: slow-log
      files:
        -  /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
      service: "mysql"

Webservers will send their apache logs, databases will send their slow log. If for some reason you're running a server as a database and a webserver, the settings will get merged and both sets of logs will be shipped to datadog.

All variables starting with vector_config_ are merged together to generate a complete config.
