This roles installs and configures scollector, the telemetry collector for Bosun. It also adds the bosun-emitter helper tool, as well as jq.
The general contract of this role is to take the variables map _scollector from defaults/main.yml as a template for your configuration and pass that configuration as a parameter to this role.
Bosun does not provide a Debian/Ubuntu repository. To use this role, you currently need to first make sure you have the bosun-scollector package available in a repository, configured in your APT sources. The same goes for the bosun-emitter. It can be found at https://packagecloud.io/lukaspustina/opensource. The _scollector variable (see below) offers a convenience feature to add this repo. In a future version, it might become split out into a separate role.
_scollector is a map that contains all configuration and settings for this role. RW_APT_CACHE_UPDATE and RW_ENABLE_DOWNLOADS may be specified as extra variables on invocation of Ansible in order to force apt-get update or install the latest version of scollector, respectively. Please see defaults/main.yml for details.
