Role Variables

There is one main variable that drives this role: _instana. It is a map that contains all configuration and settings for this role. The access key can be set using this variable. Please see defaults/main.yml for details.

Dependencies

None. Instana brings a packaged Java Runtime.

Example Playbook

The general contract of this role is to take the variables map _instana from defaults/main.yml as a template for your configuration and pass that configuration as a parameter to this role.

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  var:
    INSTANA:
      ...
  roles:
     - { role: instana_agent, tags: [ 'instana' ], _instana: "{{ INSTANA }}" }
