Installing ELK (CentOS)

This is a short step-by-step guide on installing ElasticSearch LogStash and Kibana Stack on a CentOS environment to gather and analyze logs.

rpm -ivh https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5756075/jdk-7u45-linux-x64.rpm

##Setup initial dependences

sudo yum update 
sudo yum install wget
sudo yum install curl
sudo yum install httpd

##Setup ElasticSearch

If you haven't already set your NPM author info, now you should:

npm set init.author.name "Your Name"
npm set init.author.email "[email protected]"
npm set init.author.url "http://yourblog.com"

npm adduser

In Laravel 3 URL::secure/Redirect::secure got overridden by the ssl config. Nice for testing locally when you don't have ssl setup.

In Laravel 4 they took it out. Why? Fuck knows...

Anyway heres how to get it working again.
