Ansible role for installing or upgrading VictoriaMetrics cluster, inspired by the standalone version : https://github.com/dreamteam-gg/ansible-victoriametrics-role . Thanks to @dreamteam-gg
Tested on Centos 7 & Centos 8 but it should work on other distributions with minor adjustments :-)
None.
In order to use this role create your inventory file with these 3 groups :
- vmstorage ( for storage nodes )
- vmselect ( for select nodes )
- vminsert ( for insert nodes )
More info here : https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/cluster#architecture-overview
[vmstorage]
vmstorage01.example.com
vmstorage02.example.com
vmstorage03.example.com
vmstorage04.example.com
[vminsert]
vminsert01.example.com
vminsert02.example.com
[vmselect]
vmselect01.example.com
vmselect02.example.com
The default variables of the role. You can overwrite them on role or playbook level.

Before upgrade your cluster always check releases : https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases
-
For updating your cluster without any issues at least a single node of each type should be up and running. Read more : https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/cluster#cluster-availability
-
To update the victoriametrics just update the vars
victoriametrics_version -
Need to use Ansible
serialfunction in order to update one node at a time. More info : https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_delegation.html#rolling-update-batch-size -
Also we are using a simple task before running the actual update to gather facts from the nodes, see below.
---
- hosts: vminsert,vmselect,vmstorage
become: true
gather_facts: true
tasks:
- name: Gather facts for victoria nodes
setup:
- hosts: vminsert,vmselect,vmstorage
gather_facts: false
become: true
serial: 1
vars:
- victoriametrics_version: "v1.40.0"
In order to use VictoriaMetrics you need an http load balancer :-)
In my case i used Haproxy. Here is a simple config for your vminsert and vmselect nodes. In case you add more vmselect or vminsert nodes don't forget to update your Haproxy config accordingly.

global
# to have these messages end up in /var/log/haproxy.log you will
# need to:
#
# 1) configure syslog to accept network log events. This is done
# by adding the '-r' option to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS in
# /etc/sysconfig/syslog
#
# 2) configure local2 events to go to the /var/log/haproxy.log
# file. A line like the following can be added to
# /etc/sysconfig/syslog
#
# local2.* /var/log/haproxy.log
#
