InfluxDB Enterprise

This role will install an InfluxDB Enterprise cluster. Both meta and data nodes.

Usage

Add the following to your requirements.yml:

- src: influxdata.influxdb-enterprise
  name: influxdb-enterprise

Install to your roles directory:

$ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yaml

Include in your Playbooks (see this example for a more detailed usage):

---
# site.yml
- hosts: influxdb
  become: yes
  roles:
  - { role: 'influxdb-enterprise', influx_node_type: meta }
  - { role: 'influxdb-enterprise', influx_node_type: data }
  vars:
  influx_cluster_auto_join: true
  influx_meta_cluster_leader: influxdb_001
  influx_enterprise_license_key: XXX-XXX-XXX
  influx_queries:
    - "CREATE DATABASE test"
    - "CREATE RETENTION POLICY testrp ON test DURATION 24h REPLICATION 2 default"
    - "ALTER RETENTION POLICY autogen ON test DURATION 666h REPLICATION 2 default"

Note: When bringing up the cluster for the first time, it’s a good idea to use --skip-tags=influxdb-cluster, this ensures all hosts are up before establishing a cluster. It’s also wise to run against the first meta-node first using the --limit option. We’ll improve this in the future.
