perfSONAR-maddash Ansible role

Install and manage a perfSONAR MadDash dashboard.

Requirements

This role is meant to work with any perfSONAR supported distro:

• CentOS: http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_centos.html
• Debian/Ubuntu: http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_debian.html

The hosts must be manageable through Ansible including access to some Ansible modules. We recommend that you bootstrap Ansible on your hosts prior to running this role. This can be done manually or through roles provided by DebOps or some bootstrap roles available on Ansible Galaxy like robertdebock.bootstrap as a very first role.

It requires Ansible v2.5 at least.

Role Variables

The following variables can/should be defined for your host setup:

• perfsonar_maddash_remotes is a list whose entries have state and url subelements.

• Some other variables are defined at the end of default/main.yml and in vars/main.yml, but shouldn't need to be altered for a regular install.

Role Tags

Some tags are used in the role, they are meant to run only or skip part of the process. The following tags are existing:

• ps::install : only install perfSONAR packages and their dependencies
• ps::config : only config perfSONAR packages
• ps::running : running tasks
