## [Example Playbook](#example-playbook)

This example is taken from `molecule/default/converge.yml` and is tested on each push, pull request and release.
```yaml
---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  roles:
    - role: buluma.zabbix_agent
```

The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using `molecule/default/prepare.yml`:
```yaml
---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  become: yes

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
    - role: buluma.ca_certificates
    - role: buluma.zabbix_repository
```


## [Role Variables](#role-variables)

The default values for the variables are set in `defaults/main.yml`:
```yaml
---
# Values used to configure zabbix_agent.

zabbix_agent_server_address: "127.0.0.1"
zabbix_agent_listen_port: 10050
zabbix_agent_server_active_address: "127.0.0.1"
# Not mandatory, but possible to overwrite.
# zabbix_agent_source_ip: "127.0.0.1"

zabbix_agent_hostname: "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"
