Linux - Packetbeat

Warning

As packetbeat is replaced by Elastic Agent, this playbook is deprecated.

Description

This playbook uses the mon-elastic-beat-packetbeat role to ensure that Packetbeat is installed.
The role automates the installation, configuration, and management of Elastic's Packetbeat on target systems. It ensures the correct version of Packetbeat is installed, using variables for version control. The role fetches configuration files from a Git repository and applies host or group-specific configurations, with fallback to default settings when necessary. It supports CentOS/RHEL environments and ensures Packetbeat is enabled and started, with error handling and debugging for traceability.
