Vagrantfile includes the settings of the virtual box such as operating system, memory size, number of CPUs, forwarded ports, etc… There are two essential configuration files in this box: Vagrantfile and the Puppet manifest default.pp. In our box, we use pure shell scripting and Puppet to configure the ELK stack. As for Kibana, it will be served on port 5601 (also accessible from the host OS).Īs mentioned above, Vagrant is a wrapper around VirtualBox and some configuration management software. In case you don’t know, Vagrant is a free and open-source software that combines VirtualBox (a virtualization software) with configuration management softwares such as Puppet and Chef.īy cloning this github repo and then typing “vagrant up”, you will be installing elasticsearch, logstash, kibana and nginx (the latter used to serve kibana).Įlasticsearch will be running on port 9200, as usual, which is forwarded to the host machine. At Comperio, we mainly use this box for query log analysis using the ELK stack. This also forces me to make sure that all my infrastructure is 100% automated-if I have any special snowflakes around that I'd be afraid to delete by removing its base box.In this blog post we introduce a Vagrant box to easily create configurable and reproducible development environments for ELK (Elasticsearch, Logastash and Kibana). Since I maintain a half-dozen open-source Vagrant boxes, and use a few dozen other boxes frequently in testing and building software, I like being able to clean out old boxes quickly to conserve disk space (same thing with Docker-I frequently delete ALL downloaded images). And if you have multiple boxes per provider, or if you have multiple versions of the same box, you'll likely need to modify the command a bit. You can use xargs' -t option to output the commands being run just before they're executed. xargs -L 1 vagrant box remove -f: Use xargs to run one command per line, running the command vagrant box remove -f.cut -f 1 -d ' ': Cuts the list and takes out just the first column (using spaces to delimit the columns).vagrant box list: Prints out a list of all installed vagrant boxes (with two columns-box name or path, and meta info).

Assuming you have only one box per provider, this command will delete ALL Vagrant boxes you currently have on your system: $ vagrant box list | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | xargs -L 1 vagrant box remove -f
