##Overview

Install and configure Elasticsearch filebeat

##Module Description

This puppet module installs filebeat official RPM from Elasticsearch with a fixed version (1.0.0-rc1 at the moment, waiting for filebeat release to implement other approach)

Actually only works with logstash output and without security, but it's easily expandable

##Setup

###What elastic_filebeat affects

• Manage filebeat package, service and configuration
• Monopolizes /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml file and /etc/filebeat/conf.d directory

###Beginning with elastic_filebeat

puppet module install pmovil-elastic_filebeat

##Usage

    class {'elastic_filebeat':
        logstash_output_enabled: true
    }
    
    elastic_filebeat::prospector{'system_logs':
        paths: ['/var/log/*'],
    }
