# Playbooks for installing Prometheus and Grafana on Swarm

The following playbooks are used to deploy Prometheus and Grafana on Docker Swarm.

• playbooks/install_logspout.yml installs and configures Logspout on all Docker nodes. Logspout is responsible for sending logs produced by containers running on the Docker nodes to the central logger VM. By default, this playbook is commented out in site.yml.
• playbooks/config_monitoring.yml configures a monitoring system for the Docker environment based on Grafana, Prometheus, cAdvisor and node-exporter Docker containers. By default, this playbook is commented out in site.yml, so if you want to use the solution to automatically deploy a Prometheus/Grafana monitoring system, you must explicitly uncomment both this and the playbooks/install_logspout.yml playbook in site.yml or run these playbooks post-deployment.
