DO NOT USE

This is a fork to add amazon linux support. TESTING. Original release notes follow.

SumoCollector

Ansible role to install SumoCollector. This role was based on wgregorian as recommended by Sumo staff and modcloth's role inspiration. That was a native install using yum.
We now support yum, tarball and docker installs. Hot patches would likely be first available via tarball for testing bugfixes with sumologic team.

Role Variables

Default variables:

RedHat OS Family

For a complete list see defaults.yml

deployment_id: Following sumo best practices, there is a top-level deployment_id which sets
_sourceCategory allowing indexing based on deployment.

# Credentials.  Set these in your environment or over-ride.
sumologic_collector_accessid: "{{ lookup('env', 'SUMO_COLLECTOR_ACCESS_ID' }}"
sumologic_collector_accesskey: "{{ lookup('env', 'SUMO_COLLECTOR_ACCESS_KEY' }}"
sumocollector_installer_rpm: "https://collectors.sumologic.com/rest/download/rpm/64"
sumologic_installer_rpm_local_folder: "/tmp"

Debian OS Family

sumologic_installer_remote_file: "/tmp/sumocollector.deb"
sumocollector_installer_download: "https://collectors.sumologic.com/rest/download/deb/64"

Credentials

- assuming environment variables $sumologic_collector_accessid and $sumologic_collector_accesskey are set:
sumologic_collector_accessid: "{{ lookup('env','sumologic_collector_accessid') }}"
sumologic_collector_accesskey: "{{ lookup('env','sumologic_collector_accesskey') }}"

Allow overwrite of old collectors.

sumologic_collector_clobber: ""
sumologic_installer_file: ""
sumologic_collector_source_template: "collector.json.j2"
sumologic_collector_timezone: "UTC"
sumologic_collector_force_timezone: "false"

log names and location

  • be sure to specify the sumologic_collector_default_log_path variable, as below pattern for 1 or many log locations:
sumologic_collector_default_log_path:
  - name: "EXAMPLE LOG"
    path: "/var/log/EXAMPLE.log"
    use_multiline: false
    category: "EXAMPLE"
  - name: "EXAMPLE LOG 2"
    path: "/var/log/EXAMPLEi2.log"
    use_multiline: false
    category: "EXAMPLE2"

Group variable example:

  • be sure to specify the sumologic_collector_application_log_path variable, as below pattern for 1 or many log locations:
sumologic_collector_application_log_path:
  - name: "APP LOG"
    path: "/var/log/APP.log"
    use_multiline: false
    category: "APP"

Examples

Installation

Example Commandline Options

$ ansible-playbook -i /path/to/hosts site.yml -e sumologic_force_restart=yes -e @/ath/to/over-ride-vars.yml

via ansible-galaxy

installation-A

  • run ansible-galaxy install wgregorian.sumocollector

installation-B

  • requirements.yml
---
    - src: wgregorian.sumocollector
  • and run the following to make the role available to playbook: ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

and running: ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

Legacy vars for sumo.conf.j2

These could be migrated to user.properties.

sumologic_installer_file: ""
sumologic_collector_source_template: "collector.json.j2"
sumologic_collector_timezone: "UTC"
sumologic_collector_force_timezone: "false"
sumologic_collector_default_log_path:
  - name: "EXAMPLE LOG"
    path: "/var/log/EXAMPLE.log"
    use_multiline: false
    category: "EXAMPLE"

Group variable example:

sumologic_collector_application_log_path:
  - name: "APP LOG"
    path: "/var/log/APP.log"
    use_multiline: false
    category: "APP" }

Troubleshooting

If there are errors in a source file, it may be difficult to discover. You can check in the UI by seeing if the file-name shows up in a collector's sources. You may inspect the json for the source by clicking the info icon. You can find the errors by changing the source while tailing collector.log in another shell:

tail -f /path/to/collector.log | grep blade

Roadmap

Add sumo api calls to map docker-stats uuid names to nice container names using HTTP source. Add examples of sumo api calls to configure queries and alerts. Add dashboard templates via api calls.
