Role name in Ansible Galaxy: williamyeh.mongodb_exporter

This Ansible role has the following features for mongodb_exporter (a MongoDB metrics exporter for Prometheus):

• Install mongodb_exporter by compiling its Golang source code (I hope the maintainer of mongodb_exporter will provide official binary releases).
• Handlers for restart/reload/stop events.

NOTE: If you want to install Prometheus itself or other exporters, see williamyeh.prometheus for more info.

None.

Mongodb_exporter specific user-configurable defaults:

# MongoDB Connection String URI
# @see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/connection-string/
mongodb_exporter_mongodb_uri:  "mongodb://localhost:27017"

If the Linux distributions are equipped with systemd, this role will use this mechanism accordingly. You can disable this (i.e., use traditional SysV-style init script) by defining the variable to false: mongodb_exporter_use_systemd: false.

mongodb_exporter_use_systemd

Prometheus user-configurable defaults (of course, a subset of optional variables in williamyeh.prometheus):

# user and group
prometheus_user:   prometheus
prometheus_group:  prometheus


# directory for executable files
prometheus_install_path:   /opt/prometheus
