You have some options on how you install the agent. You can certainly install 
with just pip install the Ansible role actually does this but in addition runs 
monasca-setup for you. Using pip is discussed on this page, 
https://github.com/stackforge/monasca-agent/blob/master/docs/Agent.md#installing

The Ansible role can make things even easier in particular if you have Ansible 
installed. The playbook you call this from can be quite simple, here is one I 
use:

- name: Installs the Monasca Agent

  hosts: monasca

  sudo: yes

  vars:

    monasca_agent_check_frequency: 15

  roles:

    - {role: monasca-agent, tags: [agent]}

The key thing to be aware of is that the requirements for the role which are 
all listed in the README.md at 
https://github.com/hpcloud-mon/ansible-monasca-agent
In the above example those requirements are defined in the group_vars.

Subject: [Monasca] question about monasca-agent installation


What is the right way to install monasca-agent? Using 
https://github.com/hpcloud-mon/ansible-monasca-agent or pip install?

How will the ansible cookbook be used? There is no main.yml to run the 
cookbook. Anyone can give me an example?
