Logstash

Logging role for deploying and managing Logstash with Docker and systemd as a part of the ELK stack.

Variables

You can use these variables to customize your Logstash installations:

logstash_output_stdout

A simple output which prints to the STDOUT

Default: false

logstash_output_elasticsearch

Configures an elasticsearch output for the local Logstash agent on all nodes. You can set this variable to a dictionary that maps to the Logstash Elasticsearch output settings.

Default: n/a

Example:

logstash_output_elasticsearch:
  host: "elasticsearch.example.com"
  protocol: "http"

logstash_output_kafka

Configures an elasticsearch output for a Kafka cluster. You can set this variable to a dictionary that maps to the Logstash Kafka output settings.

Default: n/a

Example:

logstash_output_kafka:
  broker_list: "broker1:port,broker2:port,..."
  topic_id: "logstash"

logstash_input_log4j

Read events over a TCP socket from a Log4j SocketAppender

Default: false

logstsh_log4j_port
