We use Ansible to install/configure Postgres, Memcached, Redis, Nginx and a 
bunch of other services.

Now we want to use Ansible to setup monitoring (Monit) and metrics 
collection (CollectD).

Monit and CollectD each use 'service plugins'.  Plugin configuration can 
all reside in a single config file, or broken into a master config with 
separate include files for each plugin.  We could setup monitoring/metrics 
to operate from a single role, or use separate roles for Monit and 
CollectD, or embed monitoring/metrics as tasks in each service role.  As we 
update configurations, we need to account for install dependencies and 
service restarts.

Does Ansible have a built-in solution for these type of cross-cutting 
services?  Where can I find examples that show best practice for 
configuring tools like Monit and CollectD?
