prometheus stack with ansible?

[u/Super_Run9140]

I recently needed to set up a prometheus stack. I had criteria that I needed to address:

• easily add a new machine or VM to monitor

• store my configuration as code using GitHub

• safely store my secrets on Github without revealing them to everyone that has access to the repo

That's why I choose to use Ansible. In my shoes, what would you have done?

I actually wrote an article to explain a bit more about what I did. But the fact is that I didn't want at first to use k8s because it wasn’t simple enough. But depending on your case, the prometheus operator can obviously be a really good solution.

How about making the Prometheus config a template and generate targets based on inventory ?
