ansible-elasticsearch

Ansible role for 7.x/6.x Elasticsearch. Currently this works on Debian and RedHat-based Linux systems. The latest Elasticsearch versions of 7.x & 6.x are actively tested. Elasticsearch default version is described in es_version. You can override this variable in your playbook to install another version. While we are testing this role only with one 7.x and one 6.x version. All Elasticsearch configuration parameters are supported. This is achieved using a configuration map parameter 'es_config' which is serialized into the elasticsearch.yml file. The use of a map ensures the Ansible playbook does not need to be updated to reflect new/deprecated/plugin configuration parameters. The application of the elasticsearch role results in the installation of a node on a host. Specifying the role multiple times for a host, therefore, results in the installation of multiple nodes for the host.
