Monitor files with foreman

[LordBrain]

I have a foreman instance setup and am having problems telling log stash what files to monitor. I am able to set the server and certificate using overrides within foreman, but for the life of me I can not figure out how to set what log files to monitor. Has that been encountered before?

Never mind. I figured it out. In your other puppet classes you need to add the files. So you have to do something like this:

import 'logstashforwarder'
logstashforwarder::file { 'apache':
paths => [ '/var/log/apache/access.log' ],
fields => { 'type' => 'apache' },
}
(like it says in the doc)

I was hopping there was a way to have some default files added to the logstashforwarder class itself.

@blee1170 i hope that some day you can assign a hash of resources you want to monitor, but for now its not possible. sorry.
