17A project network

This repo is about provisioning relevant servers.

There ought to be a network diagram - PR anyone?

Design decisions

• 1 monitoring server running nagios

  It will pull what to monitor from the inventory file

Configuration

The directory inventory contains the inventory information for the development setup and for the groups.

For the nagios specific things see the repository

inventory/development

This is the information used for devlopment, and is not intended to be rolled out in production.

It is used e.g. when doing vagrant up in the base directory

inventory/grp1

This is the inventory information for group 1.

The intention is that other groups may add a new submodule that links to their own inventory directory structure.

inventory/<subdir>/group_vars/all/*

Contains configuration that is applied to all groups

inventory/<subdir>/group_vars/servers/*

Contains configuration that is applied to the servers group

inventory/<subdir>/group_vars/host_vars/srv-mon/*

Contains configuration that is applied to the server called srv-mon

inventory/<subdir>/inventory

This is the list of server and other devices that ansbiel is aware of.

Usage

To pull the latest config (includin submodules)

1. git pull
2. git submodule update --remote

To test the configuration (to everything defined in inventory and site.yml)

`ansible-playbook -i inventory/<subdir>/inventory site.yml --check -D`

To apply the configuration (to everything defined in inventory and site.yml)

`ansible-playbook -i inventory/<subdir>/inventory site.yml`
