CloudWatch exporter configuration

To enable cloudwatch_exporter include role task: cloudwatch_exporter

The configuration content. The example below utilizes a file named 'cloudwatch_exporter.yml' in your Ansible root directory's 'files' directory. If no configuration content is defined, a default configuration file is utilized. You will want to customize your configuration file content!:

prometheus_cloudwatch_exporter_cfg: '{{ lookup("file", "../files/cloudwatch_exporter.yml") | from_yaml }}'

Alternatively, the configuration file can be defined directly:

prometheus_cloudwatch_exporter_cfg:
  region: eu-west-1
  metrics:
   - aws_namespace: AWS/ELB
     aws_metric_name: RequestCount
     aws_dimensions: [AvailabilityZone, LoadBalancerName]
     aws_dimension_select:
       LoadBalancerName: [myLB]
     aws_statistics: [Sum]

An array of additional flags to pass to the cloudwatch_exporter daemon:

prometheus_cloudwatch_exporter_extra_opts: []
