This set of playbooks will deploy elk cluster (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) with topbeat to gather metrics from hosts metrics to the ELK cluster.

cd /opt/openstack-ansible-ops
openstack-ansible installElastic.yml -e elk_hosts=elastic-logstash -e node_master=true -e node_data=true

Install an Elasticsearch client on the kibana container to serve as a loadbalancer for the Kibana backend server
