Example Playbook

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

  roles:

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.
