Cloudamize Ansible Playbook

This is an Ansible playbook to automate the installation of the cloudamize collector on linux servers.

Please note that this playbook is an example of a single method of installing the agent on many machines and may require modifications to work in your environment.

Step 1

Install ansible on a machine that has ssh access to your linux servers.

  • On Ubuntu/debian run sudo apt install ansible

  • On Centos/red hat run sudo yum install ansible

Step 2

Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/cloudreach/cmz-ansible.git or download the zip file.

Step 3

Edit inventory.ini to include the linux servers you wish to monitor.
