ansible-role-kibana

Installs and configures Kibana.

Description

This role will in a configurable manner:

• install Kibana
• configure Kibana
• enable TLS for communication with elasticsearch

Requirements

None, other than a working elasticsearch node with which Kibana will be configured to talk to.

Role Variables

Look at the defaults/main.yml file for this roles variables and their documentation.

The role uses an ansible dict (kibana_config) to configure Kibana making it extremely easy to override any defaults used by the role.

Dependencies

You could use nkakouros.elasticsearch to install elasticsearch.

Example Playbook

This is a minimal playbook to have kibana installed as soon as possible, with no certificates, for development purposes.

- hosts: kibana-server
  roles:
    - nkakouros.kibana

For a full example on how to configure and install a full ELK installation (from where you can pick what is relevant for your use case) see the molecule/default/ folder. In there, the prepare.yml file contains a playbook that will install dependencies that this role will need. The playbook.yml file will contain a full and complex example of how to use this role specifically.
