A puppet module for managing and configuring Logstash

http://www.logstash.net

From version 0.0.6 to 0.1.0 the following has been removed/changed:

initfile (string) => initfiles (hash)

defaultsfile (string) => defaultsfiles (hash)

Installation, make sure service is running and will be started at boot time:

 class { 'logstash': }

Removal/decommissioning:

 class { 'logstash':
   ensure => 'absent',
 }

Install everything but disable service(s) afterwards:

 class { 'logstash':
   status => 'disabled',
 }

When you want to use an other service manager like 'runit' or 'daemontools':

 class { 'logstash':
   status   => 'unmanaged'
 }

If you require running more then 1 instance on the same machine. If no instances are defined it will default to 'agent'.

 class { 'logstash':
   instances => [ 'instance1', 'instance2' ]
 }

All plugins can be defined to a certain instance. For example:

 logstash::input::file { 'fileinput':
   instances => [ 'instance1' ]
 }

 logstash::input::file { 'fileinput2':
   instances => [ 'instance2' ]
 }

If you rather supply your own init script:

 class { 'logstash':
   initfiles => { 'agent' => 'puppet:///path/to/initfile' }
 }

In all cases you can supply a defaults file:

 class { 'logstash':
   defaultsfiles => { 'agent' => 'puppet:///path/to/defaults' }
 }

Installation with a JAR file:

 class { 'logstash':
   provider => 'custom',
   jarfile  => 'puppet:///path/to/jarfile',
   installpath => '/path/to/install/dir'
 }

When no init script is provided when using custom provider, built in init script will be placed. You can however supply your own init script and defaults file.

 class { 'logstash':
   provider      => 'custom',
   jarfile       => 'puppet:///path/to/jarfile',
   initfiles     => { 'agent' => 'puppet:///path/to/initfile' },
   defaultsfiles => { 'agent' => 'puppet:///path/to/defaultsfile' }
 }

If you want java to be installed by the module:

 class { 'logstash':
   java_install => true
 }

If you want a specific java package/version:

 class { 'logstash':
   java_install => true,
   java_package => 'packagename'
 }

Every plugin in Logstash has its own define file.
