We want all our VMs and real machines monitored, with a simple dashboard to visualize the data.
However, I will talk about the pattern that we will use to monitor our infrastructure: the observer and the targets.
Add the IP of the targeted machine in the targets of the node-exporter job (and cadvisor if you also want to monitor the containers) of the observer machine (ansible/roles/observer/files/prometheus_main.yml).
