Building an ELK Stack with Vagrant and Ansible

This is the source code to along with the blog article ELK-Stack-with-Vagrant-and-Ansible

• Make sure that the host has sufficient CPU & RAM to build 7 vms as this one does.
• You can adjust the memory requirements in 'inventory.yml'.

Uses the following roles:

• elastic.elasticsearch for Elasticsearch
• ashokc.logstash for Logstash
• ashokc.kibana for Kibana
• ashokc.filebeat for Filebeat

Brief usage:

vagrant up --no-provision
ansible-playbook -v -i inventory.yml elk.yml

For testing,

1. Generate logs on a filebeat host, say filebeat-1

vagrant ssh filebeat-1
cd /vagrant
./files/genLogs.pl

2. Open a browswer to Kibana and explore.
