question

I am using the ELK stack installation setup for the first time, but I am little confused with the paramters that needs to be passed

  1. elasticsearch_internal_alb - As per the variable.tf of the elasticsearch module, I see that the securotygroups_id is required but what should be the INBOUND and OUTBOUND ports and what is the use of this sg. Secondly - If we have to go with ALB the the documentation look for arn, dns_name and zone_id as required. Shouldn't the ALB ARN be created through terraform provisioning. Similar doubts for kibana_alb

Can you please provide a sample example of what the Input will look like if you have to setup in a Dev Env?

  1. Base rules are attached by module. So if you do not have other requirement, TCP 9200 and 9201 will be opened.

  2. ARN is needed only when deploy_elb is false, which means the module won't create ELB, which means you need to provide an ELB to the module via ARN.
