Note: If you are running this playback using Ansible Tower, it is advantageous if the Monitoring server and Ansible Tower are in the same Kubernetes cluster. If they are in different clusters, then you must manually download the config pack to a directory that the agent host can access. You will not be able to use the download_configpack.yml playbook. For more information on downloading the config pack, see Configuring the downloaded images.
You must also create a cluster admin role binding for Ansible server, for more information, see Create the cluster admin role binding for the service account.
