Installs and configures Logstash with the monolithic jar.

• http://logstash.net/

Platform: Tested on Ubuntu 10.04

Cookbooks from http://community.opscode.com

• runit
• java

And their dependencies.

• node['logstash']['version'] - version of Logstash. Default 1.0.14.
• node['logstash']['checksum'] - sha256sum of the monolithic jar.
• node['logstash']['install_path'] - location where Logstash is installed. Default /srv/logstash.

Include the logstash recipe on a node to get logstash installed. The webui and agent will be started by default under Runit.

To learn more about runit, see:

• http://smarden.org/runit

To name a few.

• only sets up monolithic logstash
• config file is a simple example and needs to be attribute driven
• runit is the only process manager supported right now

Future versions of this cookbook may dramatically alter its functionality, but always for great good.
