tenequm / elk-stack

ELK stack provisioning play accomplished with Ansible.

ELK stack provisioning play.

This play establishes stack with 2 client computers (just to show it's work) and 1 ELK server, that aggregates and shows collected information. Also it configures firewall, so onlu needed ports will be opened.

Clients

Clients are provisioned on DigitalOcean droplets. client-setup.yml playbook doesn't have much variables, the only important one that should be declared is api_token more about this variable look in my another repository ansible-digo. Also you should an RSA key pair into ssh_keys directory that should be placed in the root of this play, so you will have more easier way to connect to your clients, as you will have keys to access it. They also will have installed and configured filebeat apps and will send statistics to ELK server from scratch.

ELK Server

At first change the ip address of the ELK server host in inventory file, other way it wouldn't have any place where to apply provisioning. It is fully provisioned with my tenequm.elk role, required variable is elk_server_domain, so don't forget to mention it when using this role.

Dependencies

Don't forget to run ansible-galaxy install -r requirments.yml before start, so you would have all the needed dependencies.
