Feature request

Provide support for Elastic Cloud, We could provide cloud.id and cloud.auth values ideally in Playbook.yml.

Hi @khawarhere,
You should already be able to use this ansible role with Elastic Cloud.
You can provide cloud.id and cloud.auth values in beat_conf Ansible variable.

Dear @jmlrt,

Thanks for the response, I got your point, Also it would be a great help, if you please describe some example, e.g in filebeat, how will we set cloud.id and cloud.auth

- role: ansible-beats
      beat: filebeat
      beat_conf:
        filebeat:
          inputs:
            - paths:
                - /var/log/*.log
              type: log

Thank you.

cloud.id and cloud.auth can be set in filebeat.yml config file so you can use a playbook like that:

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - role: ansible-beats
      beat: filebeat
      beat_conf:
        filebeat:
          inputs:
            - paths:
                - /var/log/*.log
              type: log
        cloud.id: "XXX"
        cloud.auth: "elastic:XXX"

Thanks for this. How do we use keystore? Ie what's the best way to copy the .keystore files to the remote host, then reference the values from it.

cloud.id: "${ecid}"
cloud.auth: "${ecpass}"

Hi @adrwh, Beats keystore integration isn't implemented yet in this Ansible role.
