Logstash Vagrant Environment

ou may want to try this one instead ... cleaner installs with puppet. https://github.com/paulczar/vagrant-logstash

I've been doing a lot of logstash testing recently and find myself constantly building VMs for it. No longer!

install_logstash.sh will download and install logstash, elasticsearch, and kibana into /vagrant/ This allows you to access these files from your desktop OS so you can use a friendly text editor.

Usage

Install

requires vagrant, and a vagrant box: precise64

git clone git://github.com/paulczar/logstash-vagrant.git
cd logstash-vagrant
vagrant up

Use

Kibana - http://localhost:5601 Elastic Search - http://localhost:9200

Modify

don't forget to restart the logstash service if you're messing with configs

vagrant ssh
sudo initctl restart logstash
exit

Destroy

cleanup.sh will help clean dirs if you want to submit to github

vagrant ssh
sudo /vagrant/scripts/cleanup.sh
exit
vagrant destroy

Todo

switch from shell provisioner to chef or puppet
add example logstash configs
