Hey guys, just a quick question:
How exactly do I tie Logstash together with my droplets?
I’m just a bit confused on how the whole logging system is supposed to work.
Do I install Logstash on all my droplets and then point them at my elasticsearch droplet? Then install kibana on the http-server droplet and point it at my elasticsearch droplet?

Logstash and kibana should be installed on one server only. The rest of the servers should have <a href=“http://michael.bouvy.net/blog/en/2013/12/06/use-lumberjack-logstash-forwarder-to-forward-logs-logstash/”>logstash-forwarder</a> (or any other “log shipper”) installed.
