Role Name

Ansible Role to Install and Configure Logstash

Requirements

Java should be present on the nodes machines in order to run Logstash. This role does not install Java.

On Debian OS family, python-pycurl and python-apt are required to deal with apt Ansible modules. The role already take care of these dependencies.
