# Ansible Role: Filebeat [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jradtilbrook/ansible-role-filebeat.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jradtilbrook/ansible-role-filebeat)

This role installs and configures Filebeat 5.x for the Elastic stack.

It has only been designed to work on Ubuntu 16.04, but other Debian flavours

should also work.

## Requirements

None.

## Role Variables

The `filebeat_prospectors` is a list containing all the log files to monitor.

See the Filebeat documentation for the structure of each list element.

`filebeat_output` is a dictionary of outputs to send events to. See the

Filebeat documentation for the structure and possible outputs.

`filebeat_general_config` is the general global configuration of Filebeat. Eg.

the name, extra fields or tags to apply to each event. More info can be found in

the Filebeat documentation.

`filbeat_install_state`: This is useful for updating Filebeat to newer versions

after it has already been installed. Use `latest` to achieve this functionality.

## Resources
