Ansible Role: auditbeat

This role installs auditbeat on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial).

Requirements

You need Ansible version 2.4 or higher to use this role.

Role Variables

Most variables are set in defaults/main.yml.

Example Playbook

To run with default settings:

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - { role: ansible-auditbeat }

Testing

You can test this role using Molecule.

You can install Molecule or use docker-compose run --rm molecule to start a local Docker container with the entercloudsuite/molecule image, which allows you to use molecule.

Steps to test:

1. Run molecule create to set up a Docker container.
2. Use molecule login to access the running container.
3. Edit the role's files as needed.
4. Add any extra roles you need in molecule/default/requirements.yml.
5. Modify molecule/default/playbook.yml.
6. Create infrastructure tests in the molecule/default/tests folder using the goos verifier.
7. When you're ready, use molecule converge to run the Ansible Playbook and molecule verify to run the tests. The converge step will check the role's syntax.
8. To stop and remove the Docker container, use molecule destroy.

You can also run all steps at once using molecule test.

To run this role on a VM, use the playbook_deploy.yml file with a command like: ansible-playbook ansible-auditbeat/molecule/default/playbook_deploy.yml -i VM_IP_OR_FQDN, -u ubuntu --private-key private.pem.
