Ansible Role: frr exporter

This role is fork from ansible node exporter v0.19.0 role and works with similar principles.

Description

Deploy prometheus frr exporter using ansible.

Requirements

• Ansible >= 2.7 (It might work on previous versions, but we cannot guarantee it)
• gnu-tar on Mac deployer host (brew install gnu-tar)

Role Variables

All variables which can be overridden are stored in defaults/main.yml file as well as in table below.

Name	Default Value	Description
frr_exporter_version	0.2.3	Frr exporter package version. Also accepts latest as parameter.
frr_exporter_binary_local_dir	"/usr/local/bin"	Allows to use local packages instead of ones distributed on github. As parameter it takes a directory where frr_exporter binary is stored on host on which ansible is ran. This overrides frr_exporter_version parameter
frr_exporter_web_listen_address	"0.0.0.0:9342"	Address on which frr exporter will listen
frr_exporter_enabled_collectors	[ ospf, bgp, bgp.peer-types, bgp.peer-descriptions, bgp.peer-descriptions.plain-text ]	List of additionally enabled collectors. It adds collectors to those enabled by default
frr_exporter_disabled_collectors	[]	List of disabled collectors. By default frr_exporter disables collectors listed here.
frr_exporter_system_group	"frr-exp"	Group which will be used in systemd config to start frr_exporter
frr_exporter_system_user	"frr-exp"	User which will be used in systemd config to start frr_exporter
frr_exporter_create_usergroup	true	Create user and group im case true

Example

Playbook for Debian

Use it in a playbook as follows:

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - satandyh.frr-exporter

Playbook for VyOS

You should reuse frr user/group. For do that use in your group_vars frr_exporter_create_usergroup: false

# Prometheus exporters: ... frr (BGP), ...
- name: Configure exporters
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false
  roles:
    # Frr exporter
    # extra vars need only for VyOS - because we not gather any facts
    # be careful with selinux installation - it will try to install selinux by default
    - role: frr-exporter
      vars:
        ansible_service_mgr: "systemd"
        ansible_architecture: "x86_64"
        ansible_distribution: "Debian"
        ansible_selinux:
          status: false
        ansible_mounts:
          - { mount: "/" }
      tags:
        - frr-exporter

Limitations

Pay Your attention despite that I add a lot of OS Platforms in reality I do tests only at Debian and VyOS system only. But I'm sure that this role will also work for other too.
