This vagrant box installs elasticsearch, logstash and kibana. In addition, it installs nginx and configures it to serve kibana on port 5601 (you can access it from your host machine by going to http://localhost:5601/)

Prequisites

VirtualBox and Vagrant

Up and SSH

To get started run:

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

NOTE: there is an issue with the current Vagrant version, so you might get the following error when you do vagrant up:

Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because                                   
the "vboxsf" file system is not available. Please verify that                                     
the guest additions are properly installed in the guest and                                       
can work properly. The command attempted was:
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`getent group vagrant | cut -d: -f3` vagrant /vagrant  
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`id -g vagrant` vagrant /vagrant

To fix this error, do in the guest machine (VM logged):

    $ sudo ln -s /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.10/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions

Exit the VM and do:

  vagrant reload

and you are ready to go.
