Description

logstash is a tool for managing events and logs. You can use it to collect logs, parse them,
and store them for later use (like, for searching). Speaking of searching, logstash comes
with a web interface for searching and drilling into all of your logs.

Using the charm in fat mode

In the course of operations, it may come to pass, the need to deploy a
charm which does not use an external repository.
Rather than maintain a different charm, this charm has the ability to
convert itself to a fat charm. Run the make fat command to fetch
the logstash package from the internet and insert it into this tree.

When the charm is in fat mode, the apt-repository and apt-key-url are
immutable settings. You can change them, but that will remove the
charm from fat mode and trigger remote access for apt-repository
and apt-key-url.

Configuration

apt-key-url: (string) The URL for the key for the APT repository.; http://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
nagios_servicegroups: (string) A comma-separated list of nagios servicegroups. If left empty, the nagios_context will be used as the servicegroup.
nagios_context: (string) Used by the nrpe subordinate charms. A string that will be prepended to instance name to set the host name in nagios. So for instance the hostname would be something like: juju-myservice-0 If you're running multiple environments with the same services in them this allows you to differentiate between them.; juju
apt-repository: (string) A sources.list entry line.; deb http://packages.elasticsearch.org/logstash/1.4/debian stable main
extra_config: (string) Extra configuration for logstash.
