Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (with Filebeat and Grafana too) built in a Vagrant environment for local ELK development

ELK In A Box

This is an ELK (Elasticsearch Logstash and Kibana) stack that is defined, built and deployed to run on your local machine within Vagrant. This is a personal project I use to test out Tattle as well as various other configurations for the ELK stack.

In most of my ELK deployments I test to use RabbiqMQ as a log buffer before data is sent to Elasticsearch. This system tries to emulate that here as well.

Software

• OS: CentOS 7
• Logstash 6.x
• Elasticsearch 6.x
• Filebeat 6.x
• RabbitMQ 3.6
• Kibana 5.6
• Grafana 5+

Requirements

• Vagrant
• Virtualbox
• Ansible
• Administrative rights on you local machine

Ports and Services

Default VM IP is 192.168.100.150 Note: Vagrant Host Manager creates the alias elk.local on your local machines /etc/hosts file. So you can access this system with elk.local:<port> in your browser, or by clikcing the links below.

• Elasticsearch tcp 9200 - http://elk.local:9200 - no login
• Kibana tcp 5601- http://elk.local:5601 - no login
• Grafana tcp 3000 - http://elk.local:3000 - login - admin/admin
• RabbitMQ tcp 15672 - http://elk.local:15672 - login - admin/admin

Usage

1. Clone this repo to a directory of your choice, and then navigate to that directroy when you get there

• To start the system simply run
  • vagrant up
  • Note: you will need to provide your local admin password during the first run of vagrant up since the Vagrant Host Manager needs to modify your local /etc/hosts file
