This vagrant box installs elasticsearch, logstash and kibana 4. (nginx is not necessary with kibana 4)

Prequisites

VirtualBox and Vagrant (minimum version 1.6)

Up and SSH

To get started run:

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

Elasticsearch will be available on the host machine at http://localhost:9200/, Kibana at http://localhost:5601/

Vagrant commands

vagrant up # starts the machine
vagrant ssh # ssh to the machine
vagrant halt # shut down the machine
vagrant provision # applies the bash and puppet provisioning

To run Logstash manually. Use the following command to use an example logstash config and feed example log file located at example-logs/testlog

 /opt/logstash/bin/logstash agent -f /vagrant/confs/logstash/logstash.conf

If kibana for some reason should fail to start, start it manually using

/vagrant/kibana/kibana-4.0.0-linux-x64/bin/kibana
