ELK Automation 4

We require automation for Ingest pipelines / dashboard builds, for: • Watchguard Firewalls Dashboards should be designed to most intuitively show the most valuable insights. Watchguard website has the syslog information. Finished module will consist of: • Kibana JSON objects for index-pattern, visualizations and dashboards • Logstash pipeline configuration (or Elasticsearch ingest pipeline - but logstash is preferred) • Elasticsearch index template • Data source(s), one or more of: - API connector in Python or Golang - Custom beat implementation based on libbeat - Logstash input plugin in Ruby Artefacts should be amenable to centralised management/deployment with Ansible, whether through templated logstash/beats configuration or POSTing to the Kibana saved objects API. All work must be compatible with ELK 7.1.1-oss. Where existing code is leveraged, it should be BSD / Apache licensed or similar - GPL-type licenses are acceptable if necessary but must be isolated. Proprietary-licensed code must not be used, eg the Elastic license.
