Build Status

Install and configure Elastic metricbeat.

Example Playbook

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - MattiDeGrauwe.metricbeat
  vars: 
  	- beats_config_file: "path to configuration file"

Variables

For complete documentation on configuration options see the metricbeat, filebeat and packetbeat documentation.

  • beats_package_version (default "5.2.2") The package version of the beat.

  • beats_install (default true) Whether to install the beat.

  • beats_config_file (required) set url to the desired configuration file

Metricbeat comes packaged with a script that you can use to import the example dashboards, visualizations, and searches for Metricbeat. The script also creates an index pattern, metricbeat-*, for Metricbeat.

  • beats_dashboard_output_url (default "localhost:9200") Initializes the host where the output of the predefined dashboards should be generated.

Acknowledgements

This role is based on Jmatt's Ansible Galaxy role "beats". It is a more complete implementation and less opinionated than this role. But it doesn't support v5 or follow the variable naming convention my roles follow. Thus this new role.
