A puppet module for managing logstash-forwarder
- Puppet 2.7.x or better.
- The stdlib Puppet library.
Optional:
- The apt Puppet library when using repo management on Debian/Ubuntu.
Installation, make sure service is running and will be started at boot time:
class { 'logstashforwarder': }
Install a certain version:
class { 'logstashforwarder':
version => '1.0'
}
In the absense of an appropriate package for your environment it is possible to install from other sources as well.
http/https/ftp source:
class { 'logstashforwarder':
package_url => 'http://download.website.com/packages/logstashforwarder.rpm'
}
puppet:// source:
class { 'logstashforwarder':
package_url => 'puppet:///path/to/logstashforwarder.rpm'
}
Local file source:
class { 'logstashforwarder':
package_url => 'file:/path/to/logstashforwarder.rpm'
}
Attempt to upgrade logstashforwarder if a newer package is detected (false by default):
class { 'logstashforwarder':
autoupgrade => true
}
Install everything but disable the service (useful for pre-configuring systems):
class { 'logstashforwarder':
status => 'disabled'
}
Under normal circumstances a modification to the logstashforwarder configuration will trigger a restart of the service. This behaviour can be disabled:
class { 'logstashforwarder':
restart_on_change => false
}
Disable and remove logstashforwarder entirely:
class { 'logstashforwarder':
ensure => 'absent'
}
For the network part of the configuration you need to set the servers and ssl information.
class { 'logstashforwarder':
servers => [ 'logstash.yourdomain.com' ],
ssl_key => 'puppet:///path/to/your/ssl.key',
ssl_ca => 'puppet:///path/to/your/ssl.ca',
ssl_cert => 'puppet:///path/to/your/ssl.cert'
}
If you already manage the SSL files you can also specify them as the full path.
class { 'logstashforwarder':
servers => [ 'logstash.yourdomain.com' ],
ssl_key => '/path/to/your/ssl.key',
ssl_ca => '/path/to/your/ssl.ca',
ssl_cert => '/path/to/your/ssl.cert'
}
For configuring the files you want to process you can use the 'file' define:
logstashforwarder::file { 'apache':
paths => [ '/var/log/apache/access.log' ],
fields => { 'type' => 'apache' },
}
The 'fields' hash allows you to set custom fields which you can use in Logstash.
Most sites will manage repositories seperately; however, this module can manage the repository for you.
class { 'logstashforwarder':
manage_repo => true
}
Note: When using this on Debian/Ubuntu you will need to add the Puppetlabs/apt module to your modules.
Currently only the basic SysV-style init service provider is supported but others could be implemented relatively easily (pull requests welcome).
The defaults file (/etc/defaults/logstashforwarder or /etc/sysconfig/logstashforwarder) for the logstashforwarder service can be populated as necessary. This can either be a static file resource or a simple key value-style hash object, the latter being particularly well-suited to pulling out of a data source such as Hiera.
class { 'logstashforwarder':
init_defaults_file => 'puppet:///path/to/defaults'
}
$config_hash = {
'logstashforwarder_USER' => 'logstashforwarder',
'logstashforwarder_GROUP' => 'logstashforwarder',
}
class { 'logstashforwarder':
init_defaults => $config_hash
}
