This fork will permit to realize a config.river of the flow mode thanks to the config.yaml of the static mode.

The objective is to deploy a grafana agent in mode flow with a dynamic configuration and not only with a config.river already configured before the deployement by ansible.

The solution that i have used it to convert the static format to the flow format is the following command:

• name: Create Grafana Agent River Config if flow mode for Grafana Agent ansible.builtin.shell: "AGENT_MODE=flow {{ grafana_agent_install_dir }}/grafana-agent convert -f static {{ grafana_agent_config_dir }}/{{ grafana_agent_config_filename }} -o {{ grafana_agent_config_dir }}/{{ grafana_agent_config_filename }}" notify: "restart grafana-agent" when: grafana_agent_provisioned_config_file | length == 0

I have made any tests and it is ok for me

Hey @lbrule , Thanks for adding this.

Also could you share a snippet of how you would use this in a playbook?

/- hosts: all tasks: - name: Install Grafana Agent ansible.builtin.include_role: name: grafana.grafana.grafana_agent vars: grafana_agent_mode: flow # Change config file on the host to .river grafana_agent_config_filename: config.river # Remove default flags grafana_agent_flags_extra: server.http.listen-addr: '0.0.0.0:12345'

@gardar any thoughts here?

Hello @gardar

The config.river is re generated always whene we run again the role. So every time we generate the config.yaml for the static mode and we do a conversion in order to obtain the config.river for the flow mode.

@gardar is this okay from your aspect?
