Restless-ET.aws-scripts-mon

An Ansible role for installing and configuring the Amazon CloudWatch Monitoring Scripts for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).

Requirements

Nothing worth mentioning ...

Role Variables

• aws_scripts_mon_version - The version of monitoring scripts to install. Defaults to: 1.2.1
• aws_scripts_mon_base_directory - The base directory where the scripts will be installed. Defaults to: /opt
• aws_scripts_mon_cron_user - The user for which the scripts will run as. Defaults to: {{ ansible_user }}
• aws_scripts_mon_options - The monitoring script options (--from-cron is always assumed). Defaults to: "--disk-space-util --disk-path=/".
• aws_scripts_mon_access_key - Your AWS Access Key. You need to define this (if not using IAM) or the role will fail to execute.
• aws_scripts_mon_secret_key - Your AWS Secret Key. You need to define this (if not using IAM) or the role will fail to execute.
• aws_scripts_mon_use_iam - If you want to authenticate with AWS IAM role permissions instead of access keys set this to true, this way the keys will not be considered as required. Defaults to: false.
