# Ansible Role: Metricbeat [](https://travis-ci.org/jradtilbrook/ansible-role-metricbeat)
This role installs and configures Metricbeat 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
`metricbeat_modules` is a list containing the configuration for each module
Metricbeat should collect data on. See the Metricbeat documentation for the
structure of each list element.
`metricbeat_output` is a dictionary of outputs to send events to. See the
Metricbeat documentation for the structure and possible outputs.
`metricbeat_general_config` is the general global configuration of Metricbeat. Eg.
the name, extra fields or tags to apply to each event. More info can be found in
the Metricbeat documentation.
`metricbeat_install_state`: This is useful for updating Metricbeat to newer
versions after it has already been installed. Use `latest` to achieve this
functionality.
## Resources
