Logstash Fundamentals

This repo is intended to be a learning tool for Logstash by Elastic.co. The examples here should get you familiar with the basic structure of Logstash, and on the way to a working proof-of-concept.

This uses Puppet 3.8 for provisioning the vagrant boxes. The intent is to also show how Logstash could be managed through a configuration management product, and to break down the installation components. By using modules from Puppet Forge, this allows quick setup.

Requirements

  • Vagrant version 1.7 or newer.
  • Virtual Box, or VMware Fusion.
  • At least 10GB of free disk-space for boxes.
  • Internet connection capable of downloading ~300MB (Java and Logstash/ElasticSearch packages) each vagrant run without you losing interest.

Setup

All of the demos use an Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) box. You will need Linux skills to move around the filesystem and examine files.

Linux and Mac

  1. Clone this repo.
  2. While in the repo, run ./prep_environment
  • This will checkout the submodules and copy the Hiera details to the parent directory, where Vagrant will use them.
  • This was done to allow you to make your own changes without worrying about committing secrets.

Windows

  1. Clone this repo.
  2. While in the repo, run git submodule init, or equivalent.
  3. Then run, git submodule update, or equivalent.
  4. Copy the puppet-hiera directory to the parent directory of this repo.
  • This allows Vagrant to use it for its work, and to allow you to make your own changes without worrying about committing secrets.
