Deploying Sysdig monitoring on Docker Swarm
Sysdig configuration for Docker swarm
The following table defines the variables used for configuring the Sysdig deployment on Docker swarm.
| Variable | File | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sysdig_access_key | group_vars/all/vault | After the activation of your account on the Sysdig portal, you will be provided with your access key which will be used by the playbooks to install the agent on each UCP, DTR and Linux worker node, as well as the NFS, logger and load balancer VMs. |
| sysdig_agent | group_vars/all/vars | Specifies the URL to the Sysdig Linux native install agent, for example, https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.draios.com/stable/install-agent |
| sysdig_tags | group_vars/all/vars | Tagging your hosts is highly recommended. Tags allow you to sort the nodes of your infrastructure into custom groups in Sysdig Monitor. Specify location, role, and owner in the format: 'location:City,role:Enterprise CaaS,owner:Customer Name' |
Running the playbook
The playbook playbooks/install_sysdig.yml is used to automate the configuration of the SaaS setup. By default, this playbook is commented out in site.yml and must be explicitly enabled. An access key variable must be set in the group_vars/all/vault file as detailed in the section Sysdig configuration for Docker swarm.
# cd Docker-Synergy
# ansible-playbook -i hosts playbooks/install_sysdig.yml --vault-password-file .vault_pass
