Hello Everyone, i am preparing for a Production deployment for elasticstack that will be used for Centralized Log-management. Now the question i have is one i was unable to find an answer for and is as follows: Is there a way to automate beats installation that can later be used for some type of mass deployment? I am asking this as our infrastructure has arround 300 servers, and installing Filebeat, Metricbeat, Packetbeat and Auditbeat by hand on each one (depending on what we need where) seems rather time consuming. Thank you in advance.

Hi @a.gavric,

I would suggest to create a module for your infrastructure management tool.  
If ansible, probably you can base on this:

> **[elastic/ansible-beats](https://github.com/elastic/ansible-beats)**
>
> Ansible Beats Role. Contribute to elastic/ansible-beats development by creating an account on GitHub.

Hi @pmercado, i will test this out and see if it will fit with what we are using. Thanks for the info.
