Ansible playbook to deploy docker, serviced and zenoss monitoring system

The primary purpose of the playbook is to deploy Zenoss Core to your own bare bone server or a virtual host:

• deploy docker with lvm storage thin pool
• deploy serviced according to requirements optionally deploy a serviced cluster, which in the turn can be used to implement zenoss distributed monitoring
• deploy and run Zenoss Core

• Support Zenoss deployments to Debian and Ubuntu operation systems.
• Fully automated deployments
• Cloud ready: one click Google Cloud Engine deployment

Install Ansible. Put your host to the hosts and configure lvm_dev variable. Proceed to Usage section :)

The configuration options are documented at group_vars files. You can amend variables there or override it site_vars.yml

• lvm_dev : block device for lvm and docker thin pool. the value of global variable will be used if not set.
• pool_name : name of serviced pool to assign host to. the default pool is used if not set.

• prepare : prepare environment
• docker : deploy docker
• serviced : deploy serviced
• zenoss : deploy zenoss

After required configuration prepared you can use setup script to start deployment.

  ./setup

At least one spare partition(>= 30 Gb) must be available and configured(lvm_dev) for docker and zenoss storage pools. 4 Gb RAM to run serviced services or 24 Gb to run zenoss

Supported OS:

• Redhat / CentOS 7
• Debian Stretch
• Ubuntu Xenial, Bionic

ansible: >= 2.3.0

The playbook tested for serviced 1.5.0 and zenoss 6.1.2. Google cloud host is used for deployment as a reproducible clean environment. You have to setup Terraform than zenoss.tf will be used to create GCE instance.

Run gce_deploy script for full cycle deployment to google cloud:

  ./gce_deploy <your google cloud ssh key username> [ terraform options ]

There are many features planned. Please visit Project support page if you like to appreciate the work.
