ansible-role-prometheus/README.md

ansible-role-prometheus

Installs Prometheus from GitHub releases on Linux. Architecture is auto-detected. The role is idempotent: it only downloads and extracts when the version changes.

The service user and group must be created beforehand. Prometheus configuration (prometheus.yml) is out of scope for this role.

Requirements

• Ansible >= 2.14
