Filebeat Install Script

Filebeat monitors log directories or specific log files, tails the files, and forwards them either to Elasticsearch or to Logstash for indexing. This folder contains a script for installing Filebeat.

This script has been tested on the following operating systems:

  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • CentOS 7
  • Amazon Linux 2

Quick start​

The easiest way to use this module is with the Gruntwork Installer:

gruntwork-install \
  --module-name "install-filebeat" \
  --repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terraform-aws-elk" \
  --tag "v0.0.1"

We recommend running this module as part of a Packer template to create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI).
