This role installs and configures the logentries.com agent.

Tested on:

• Debian wheezy, jessie
• Ubuntu trusty, precise, wily, vivid
• Centos 6, 7

Only thing required by this role is your logentries.com account key. But you probably want to follow one or more logs so an average configration looks like this:

logentries_account_key: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx"

logentries_logs:
  - name: "Authentication"
    path: "/var/log/auth.log"

When you later on want to unfollow a log:

logentries_logs:
  - name: "Authentication"
    path: "/var/log/auth.log"
    state: absent

You may also specify hostname, otherwise ansible_fqdn will be used:

logentries_hostname: my.host.com

Alternatively you can specify the key of existing logentries log set:

logentries_set_key: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

None.

Small example of how to use this role in a playbook:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: ricbra.logentries, logentries_account_key: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx" }

In the vagrant folder you can test this role against a variety of Linux distros:

$ cd vagrant && vagrant up
