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.
