Our task is related to SRE-Ansible To Install ELK Stack i.e.

Write an ansible script to install ELK stack and filebeat locally. To do so, create a directory structure as mentioned below

```auto
 ansible_ELK 
  |_site.yml 
  |_roles 
    |_elasticsearch 
      |_tasks
        |_main.yml   
    |_logstash 
      |_tasks
        |_main.yml
    |_kibana
      |_tasks
        |_main.yml
    |_filebeat
      |_tasks
        |_main.yml

```

For creating we are using

```auto
git clone https://github.com/jekhokie/scriptbox.git
cd scriptbox/ansible--elk-stack/

```

Hi Ashish,

The structure looks ok, but you may also create a common role to install common components like JAVA, setting JAVA HOME and also for any kernel level parameters that are common to all the three components.

Not sure if you planned for this, but since it is not depicted in the structure, you could also include elasticsearch.yml.j2, kibana.yml.j2 as template files. Same thing with filebeat.yml too.
