ansible-playbook-kibana

This repo is a set of playbooks which will deploy Logstash + ElasticSearch + Kibana all on a single server.

Setup

To get started you will need to setup ./vars/global_vars.yml. To do this I recommend just copying ./vars/global_vars.yml.sample and filling in the variables to whatever you want.

cp ./vars/global_vars.yml.sample ./vars/global_vars.yml
vi ./vars/global_vars.yml

You'll also need to setup ansible's inventory to define the central-logging host.

sudo vi /etc/ansible/hosts

and add

[central-logging]
foo.com

Finally, unless your user account name is ubuntu with sudo access, you'll need to edit each playbook to change the username.

vi ./playbooks/*
