visual-logs

A Vagrant image to make post-mortem log visualization easier.

###Use case:
You have a bunch of static log files and you want to analyze them.

###Solution:
Use the logstash -> elasticsearch -> kibana stack, just like you would on a live system!

###Dependencies:
Vagrant - http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
Ansible - http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html#latest-releases-via-pip

###How To Set Up:

1. Install Vagrant and Ansible
2. Replace the logstash.conf file in ansible-playbook/roles/logstash/files with your own
3. vagrant up
4. ifconfig to get the IP address - use this to navigate to Kibana

###How To Use:

1. copy/move your logs to the logs/ directory
2. vagrant ssh
3. (if necessary) elasticsearchclear
4. stashlogs (CTRL-C when it's done)
