stdevel / ansible-omd

Ansible role for installing OMD (Open Monitoring Distribution)

omd

This role installs and configures OMD (Open Monitoring Distribution).

Requirements

The system needs access to the internet. Also, you will need a Linux installation supported by OMD - e.g.:

• CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • 7
  • 8
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
• Debian
  • 10 (Buster)
  • 11 (Bullseye)
• Ubuntu
  • 18.04 (Bionic Beaver)
  • 20.04 (Focal Fossa)
  • 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)

Also make sure to have EPEL enabled for CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems!

Role Variables

Variable	Default	Description
omd_repo_flavor	stable	Use stable or testing repository (nightly builds)
