Description

The filebeat module installs and configures the filebeat log shipper maintained by elastic.

Setup

What filebeat affects

By default filebeat adds a software repository to your system, and installs filebeat along with required configurations.

Setup Requirements

The filebeat module depends on puppetlabs/stdlib, and on puppetlabs/apt on Debian based systems.

Beginning with filebeat

filebeat can be installed with puppet module install pcfens-filebeat (or with r10k, librarian-puppet, etc.)

The only required parameter, other than which files to ship, is the outputs parameter.

Usage

All of the default values in filebeat follow the upstream defaults (at the time of writing).

To ship files to elasticsearch:

class { 'filebeat':
  outputs => {
    'elasticsearch' => {
     'hosts' => [
       'http://localhost:9200',
       'http://anotherserver:9200'
     ],
     'index'       => 'packetbeat',
     'cas'         => [
        '/etc/pki/root/ca.pem',
     ],
    },
  },
}

To ship log files through logstash:

class { 'filebeat':
  outputs => {
    'logstash'     => {
     'hosts' => [
       'localhost:5044',
       'anotherserver:5044'
     ],
     'loadbalance' => true,
    },
  },
}

Shipper and logging options can be configured the same way, and are documented on the elastic website.

Limitations

This module doesn't load the elasticsearch index template into elasticsearch (required when shipping directly to elasticsearch).
