Ansible Role: Elastic Container

An Ansible role that runs Elastic Container on a Linux system.

  • Creates an agent policy
  • Add 2 integrations to the policy (Elastic Defend and Windows)
  • Configures one (1) Fleet server
  • Downloads the compatible agent version and drops it inside the ludus host (/opt/ludus/resources/elastic) for "offline" agent installations.
  • Reconfigures the output elasticsearch URL to be an array of the ipv4 address of this elastic server
  • Writes the enrollment token to {{ ludus_elastic_container_install_path }}/enrollment_token.txt. With this token and the IP address assigned to the elastic server, you are ready to deploy agents.

Requirements

None.

Ludus setup

# Add the role to your ludus host
ludus ansible roles add badsectorlabs.ludus_elastic_container

# Get your config into a file so you can assign to a VM
ludus range config get > config.yml

# Edit config to add the role to the VMs you wish to make an elastic server
ludus range config set -f config.yml

# Deploy the range with the user-defined-roles ONLY :)
ludus range deploy -t user-defined-roles

  • Once deployed, access the kibana UI at https://<IP>:5601

  • In Kibana UI, you can enable your own detection rules (to trigger alerts). No rules are enabled by default to allow the user to "control" the noise. This is a good reference on how to manage detection rules.
