This role sets up the Checkmk Server on Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS and Fedora servers.
Actually no dragons here (yet).
No special requirements; note that this role requires root access, so either run it in a playbook with a global become: yes, or invoke the role in your playbook like:
- hosts: foobar
roles:
- role: thorian93.checkmk_server
become: yes
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see vars/Debian.yml and vars/RedHat.yml):
checkmk_edition: raw
The edition to install.
checkmk_version: 2.0.0p5
The version to install.
checkmk_verify_setup: 'false'
Whether to verify the downloaded setup file using GPG.
checkmk_external_url: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
The external URL of the monitoring server. This is the URL the role thorian93.checkmk_client connects to.
checkmk_redirect_http_to_https: 'true'
Whether to redirect HTTP access to HTTPS.
checkmk_create_self_signed_cert: 'true'
Whether to create a self signed certificate or not.
checkmk_self_signed_cert_subj: "/C=DE/ST=NRW/L=Cologne/O=Org/CN={{ checkmk_external_url }}"
checkmk_self_signed_certificate_key: "/etc/{{ apache2_http_name }}/ssl/checkmk.key"
checkmk_self_signed_certificate: "/etc/{{ apache2_http_name }}/ssl/checkmk.crt"
Detailed configuration of the self signed certificate.
checkmk_custom_cert: 'false'
Whether to use a custom certificate like from a PKI or not.
checkmk_custom_cert_file: /etc/{{ apache2_http_name }}/ssl/checkmk.crt
checkmk_custom_cert_key: /etc/{{ apache2_http_name }}/ssl/checkmk.key
Detailed configuration of the custom certificate.
checkmk_certificate_key: "{{ certbot_cert_path }}/privkey.pem"
checkmk_certificate: "{{ certbot_cert_path }}/cert.pem"
checkmk_certificate_chain: "{{ certbot_cert_path }}/fullchain.pem"
These variables configure paths for certificates issued through certbot.
checkmk_sites:
- name: main
state: started
admin_pw: cmkadmin
A list of sites and their respective states and admin password.
This role ensures that it is not used against unsupported or untested operating systems by checking, if the right distribution name and major version number are present in a dedicated variable named like <role-name>_stable_os. You can find the variable in the role's default variable file at defaults/main.yml:
role_stable_os:
- Debian 10
- Ubuntu 18
- CentOS 7
- Fedora 30
If the combination of distribution and major version number do not match the target system, the role will fail. To allow the role to work add the distribution name and major version name to that variable and you are good to go. But please test the new combination first!
Kudos to HarryHarcourt for this idea!
