This is a Puppet module for Kibana3: http://three.kibana.org/ .

It manages its installation and configuration.

The module is based on stdmod naming standars. Refer to http://github.com/stdmod/

Released under the terms of Apache 2 License.

NOTE: This module is to be considered a POC, that uses the stdmod naming conventions. For development time reasons the module currently uses some Example42 modules and prerequisites.

USAGE - Common parameters

• Installation of kibana with common configuration parameters

    class { 'kibana':
      elasticsearch_url => "http://elastic.${::domain}:9200",
      webserver         => 'apache',
      virtualhost       => 'logs.example42.com', # Default: kibana.${::domain}
      file_template     => 'example42/kibana/config.js',
    }
  

USAGE - Basic management

• Install kibana fetching the upstream tarball. Note: By default kibana is installed but no webserver is configured to serve its files.

    class { 'kibana': }
  

• Install kibana and setup apache to serve it with a custom virtualhost

    class { 'kibana':
      webserver   => 'apache',
      virtualhost => 'logs.example42.com', # Default: kibana.${::domain}
    }
  

• Install kibana from a custom url to a custom destination

    class { 'kibana':
      install_url         => 'http://files.example42.com/kibana/3.1.tar.gz',
      install_destination => '/var/www/html', # Default: /opt
    }
  

• Define the url of your elastisearch server

    class { 'kibana':
      elasticsearch_url => "http://elastic.${::domain}:9200",
    }
  

• Install kibana fetching a specific version

    class { 'kibana':
      install => 'upstream',
      version => '3.0.1',
    }
  

• Install kibana via OS package

    class { 'kibana':
      install => 'package',
    }
  

• Remove kibana package and purge all the managed files

    class { 'kibana':
      ensure => absent,
    }
  

• Enable auditing (on all the arguments)

    class { 'kibana':
      audit => 'all',
    }
  

• Module dry-run: Do not make any change on all the resources provided by the module

    class { 'kibana':
      noop => true,
    }
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Use custom source for main configuration file

    class { 'kibana':
      file_source => [ "puppet:///modules/example42/kibana/kibana.conf-${hostname}" ,
                       "puppet:///modules/example42/kibana/kibana.conf" ],
    }
  

• Use custom template for main config file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

    class { 'kibana':
      file_template => 'example42/kibana/kibana.conf.erb',
    }
  

• Use a custom template and provide an hash of custom configurations that you can use inside the template

    class { 'kibana':
      file_template       => 'example42/kibana/kibana.conf.erb',
      file_options_hash  => {
        opt  => 'value',
        opt2 => 'value2',
      },
    }
  

• Specify the name of a custom class to include that provides the dependencies required by the module

    class { 'kibana':
      dependency_class => 'site::kibana_dependency',
    }
  

• Automatically include a custom class with extra resources related to kibana. Here is loaded $modulepath/example42/manifests/my_kibana.pp. Note: Use a subclass name different than kibana to avoid order loading issues.

    class { 'kibana':
      my_class => 'site::my_kibana',
    }
