Ansible Playbook for setting up Check_MK agent on pfSense

Automatically installs the Check_MK agent on a pfSense firewall. Adds ipmi, libstatgrab (for amd64) and an update check

based off 'the' pfSense forum post (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=111517.0#top) with some cleanups. We also use /opt but with a more FHS-compliant vendor-path structure putting things under /opt/check_mk.

Notes

Setup

you need to initially install python27 i.e. using: ansible -m shell -a "pkg install python27" myfirewillhostname

you'll also need a firewall rule to allow connecting to port 6556! :-)

Connections

A connection using sshpass (-k) turned out to be extremely flaky. You are very much advised to store a key for connecting with Ansible.

We normally also prefer to connect via SSH for Check_MK, that part is your choice. You can just disable the xinetd listener in that case. That's using disable = yes in ./roles/check_mk-pfsense/files/check_mk.inet

IPMI

Time constraints resulted in generally adding IPMI. It has no adverse effect on systems that do not support it, but of course a more granular support would be nicer.

The path

/opt/MK would be correct, but we can't do that
