Description

This cookbook installs only logstash and provides few typical configurations.
It doesn't install or depends on java, apache, nginx, elasticsearch, kibana, etc...

It also skips lumberjack.

Usage

Default recipe only creates user/group and arks logstash.
You are free to do anything with installation.

Also cookbook provides HWRPs for managing services and configs of logstash.
You can define multiple services and configs.
