Supported OS
This cookbook was tested on Windows, Amazon & Ubuntu Linux and expected to work on other RHEL platforms.
This also works on Solaris zones given a physical Solaris 11.2 server. For that, use the .kitchen.zone.yml file. Check usage at (https://github.com/criticalmass/kitchen-zone). You will need an url to a filebeat package that works on Solaris 11.2. Checkout Building-Filebeat-On-Solaris11.md for instructions to build a filebeat package.

How to Add Filebeat Output via Node Attribute

How to Add Filebeat Prospectors via Node Attribute
Individual prospectors configuration file can be added using attribute default['filebeat']['prospectors']
. Each prospector configuration will
be created as a different yaml file under default['filebeat']['prospector_dir']
with prefix prospector-
"default_attributes": { "filebeat": { "prospectors": { "system_logs": { "filebeat": { "prospectors": [ { "paths": [ "/var/log/messages", "/var/log/syslog" ], "type": "log", "fields": { "type": "system_logs" } } ] } }, "secure_logs": { "filebeat": { "prospectors": [ { "paths": [ "/var/log/secure", "/var/log/auth.log" ], "type": "log", "fields": { "type": "secure_logs" } } ] } }, "apache_logs": { "filebeat": { "prospectors": [ { "paths": [ "/var/log/apache/*.log" ], "type": "log", "ignore_older": "24h", "scan_frequency": "15s", "harvester_buffer_size": 16384, "fields": { "type": "apache_logs" } } ] } } } } }
Above configuration will create three different prospector files - prospector-system_logs.yml, prospector-secure_logs.yml and prospector-apache_logs.yml

Brandon Wilson - Include dpkg options to keep old config files when upgrading filebeat to a new release. Without specifying the dpkg options, dpkg will attempt to interactively ask if it should keep the old conf file, or replace it with the vendor supplied conf file which comes with the new version of the package. Since chef is running dpkg non-interactively, it causes dpkg to exit with code 1, and the chef run fails.
Virender Khatri - Fix for #4, handle derived attribute for package_url
Patrick Christopher - Added support for Windows OS
0.1.0
- Virender Khatri - Initial release of filebeat
