Example Playbook

- hosts: monitoring
  roles:
    - { role: UnderGreen.prometheus }

You should create another config parts of main file inside {{ playbook_dir }}/files/config_parts.
I use Ansible assembly and config parts should have alphabethical order. For example 2-static_sd.yml:

  - job_name: "files_sd"
    scrape_interval: 15s
    file_sd_configs:
      - files:
        - '/etc/prometheus/tgroups/*.json'
        - '/etc/prometheus/tgroups/*.yml'
        - '/etc/prometheus/tgroups/*.yaml'
        refresh_interval: '5m'
