packetbeat

A puppet module to manage packetbeat (https://www.elastic.co/products/beats/packetbeat)

Requirements

Usage

Main class

class ( '::packetbeat' )

Protocols

All the protocols known to packetbeat are included and prefilled with the defaults. So to monitor apache, nginx or tomcat only the http protocol needs to be enabled.

packetbeat::protocol { 'http': }

When specific config is needed this can be passed through to the protocol. For example: elasticsearch uses the http protocol but on different ports, so the config could be

packetbeat::protocol { 'http':
    config => {
        ports => [9200,9300]
    }
}
