##Overview The kibana3 puppet module allows one to setup and configure the kibana3 interface to Logstash and ElasticSearch.

##Module Description This module should cover all configuration options for kibana3 v3.0.0.

This module checks out the kibana3 source directly from github and requires git to be installed. By default this module will install git via the puppetlabs/git module. This behavior can be disabled.

Kibana3 requires a webserver to serve its content. By default this module will install apache via the puppetlabs/apache module. This behavior can be disabled.

##Setup Kibana3 can be installed with a base configuration with include kibana3 with default configuration options. To disable managing of git or apache see options below.

This module also provides for a way to uninstall via the ensure parameter. If ensure => 'absent' is specified and manage_ws => true and/or manage_git => true is specified, the respective module's packages and configs will also be uninstalled.

###Examples To install kibana3 accepting all default options:

  include kibana3

To specify a specific elasticsearch host to kibana3:

  class {
    'kibana3':
      config_es_port     => '9201',
      config_es_protocol => 'https',
      config_es_server   => 'es.my.domain',
  }

To manage webserver configuration outside of the kibana3 module:

  class {
    'kibana3':
      manage_ws => false,
  }

Usage

###Classes ####Class: kibana3 #####ensure Data Type: string Default: present Set to 'absent' to uninstall. Beware, if manage_git or manage_ws are set to true their respective module's packages and configs will also be uninstalled.

#####config_default_route Data Type: string Default: /dashboard/file/default.json This is the default landing page when you don't specify a dashboard to load. You can specify files, scripts or saved dashboards here. For example, if you had saved a dashboard called 'WebLogs' to elasticsearch you might use: config_default_route => '/dashboard/elasticsearch/WebLogs',

#####config_es_port Data Type: string Default: 9200 The port of the elasticsearch server. Because kibana3 is browser based this must be accessible from the browser loading kibana3.

#####config_es_protocol Data Type: string Default: http The protocol (http/https) of the elasticsearch server. Because kibana3 is browser based this must be accessible from the browser loading kibana3.

#####config_es_server Data Type: string Default: "+window.location.hostname+" The FQDN of the elasticsearch server. Because kibana3 is browser based this must be accessible from the browser loading kibana3.

#####config_kibana_index Data Type: string Default: kibana-int The default ES index to use for storing Kibana specific object such as stored dashboards.

#####config_panel_names Data Type: array Default: ['histogram','map','goal','table','filtering','timepicker','text','hits','column','trends','bettermap','query','terms','stats','sparklines'] An array of panel modules available. Panels will only be loaded when they are defined in the dashboard, but this list is used in the "add panel" interface.

#####k3_folder_owner Data Type: string Default: undef The owner of the kibana3 install located at k3_install_folder. If k3_folder_owner remains 'undef' it defaults to one of two case:

• if manage_ws => false then k3_folder_owner => 'root'
• if manage_ws => true then k3_folder_owner => $::apache::params::user

#####k3_install_folder Data Type: string Default: /opt/kibana3 The folder to install kibana3 into.

#####k3_release Data Type: string Default: a50a913 (v3.0.1) A tag or branch from the kibana3 repo. Note that you should use the commit hash instead of the tag name (see issue #5) or puppet will overwrite the config.js file.

#####manage_git Data Type: bool Default: true Should the module manage git.

#####manage_ws Data Type: bool Default: true Should the module manage the webserver.

#####manage_git_repository Data Type: bool Default: true Should the module manage kibana3 git repository.

#####ws_servername Data Type: string Default: kibana3 Change the default servername for the apache vhost. Only taken into account if manage_ws => true.
