About this repository

This set of playbooks will deploy osquery. If this is being deployed as part of an OpenStack all of the inventory needs will be provided for.

These playbooks require Ansible 2.4+.

Highlevel overview of Osquery & Kolide Fleet infrastructure these playbooks will build and operate against.

OpenStack-Ansible Integration

These playbooks can be used as standalone inventory or as an integrated part of an OpenStack-Ansible deployment. For a simple example of standalone inventory, see inventory.example.yml.

Setup | system configuration

Clone the osquery-osa repo

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-ops

Copy the env.d file into place

cd /opt/openstack-ansible-ops/osquery
cp env.d/fleet.yml /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d/

Copy the conf.d file into place

cp conf.d/fleet.yml /etc/openstack_deploy/conf.d/

In fleet.yml, list your logging hosts under fleet-logstash_hosts to create the kolide fleet cluster in multiple containers and one logging host under fleet_hosts to create the fleet container

vi /etc/openstack_deploy/conf.d/fleet.yml

Create the containers

cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
openstack-ansible lxc-containers-create.yml --limit fleet_all

Update the /etc/hosts file (optional)

cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
openstack-ansible openstack-hosts-setup.yml

Create an haproxy entry for kolide-fleet service 8443

cd /opt/openstack-ansible-ops/osquery
cat haproxy.example  >> /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml

cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks/
openstack-ansible haproxy-install.yml --tags=haproxy-service-config

Deploying | Installing with embedded Ansible

If this is being executed on a system that already has Ansible installed but is incompatible with these playbooks the script bootstrap-embedded-ansible.sh can be sourced to grab an embedded version of Ansible prior to executing the playbooks.

source bootstrap-embedded-ansible.sh

Deploying | Manually resolving the dependencies

This playbook has external role dependencies. If Ansible is not installed with the bootstrap-ansible.sh script these dependencies can be resolved with the ansible-galaxy command and the ansible-role-requirements.yml file.

• Example galaxy execution

ansible-galaxy install -r ansible-role-requirements.yml --roles-path=~/ansible25/repositories/roles

In the even that some of the modules are alread installed execute the following

ansible-galaxy install -r ansible-role-requirements.yml --ignore-errors --roles-path=~/ansible25/repositories/roles

Once the dependencies are set make sure to set the action plugin path to the location of the config_template action directory. This can be done using the environment variable ANSIBLE_ACTION_PLUGINS or through the use of an ansible.cfg file.

Deploying | The environment

Create some basic passwords keys that are needed by fleet .. code-block:: bashG

echo "kolide_fleet_db_password: $(openssl rand -base64 16)" > /etc/openstack_deploy/fleet_user_vars.yml echo "kolide_fleet_jwt_key: $(openssl rand -base64 32)" >> /etc/openstack_deploy/fleet_user_vars.yml echo "kolide_fleet_admin_password: $(openssl rand -base64 16)" >> /etc/openstack_deploy/fleet_user_vars.yml echo "mariadb_root_password: $(openssl rand -base64 16)" >> /etc/openstack_deploy/fleet_user_vars.yml

Install master/data Fleet nodes on the elastic-logstash containers, deploy logstash, deploy Kibana, and then deploy all of the service beats.

cd /opt/openstack-ansible-ops/osquery
ansible-playbook site.yml -e@/etc/openstack_deploy/fleet_user_vars.yml

• The openstack-ansible command can be used if the version of ansible on the system is greater than 2.5. This will automatically pick up the necessary group_vars for hosts in an OSA deployment.
• If required add -e@/opt/openstack-ansible/inventory/group_vars/all/all.yml to import sufficient OSA group variables to define the OpenStack release. Journalbeat will then deploy onto all hosts/containers for releases prior to Rocky, and hosts only for Rocky onwards. If the variable openstack_release is undefined the default behaviour is to deploy Journalbeat to hosts only.
• Alternatively if using the embedded ansible, create a symlink to include all of the OSA group_vars. These are not available by default with the embedded ansible and can be symlinked into the ops repo.

ln -s /opt/openstack-ansible/inventory/group_vars /opt/openstack-ansible-ops/osquery/group_vars

The individual playbooks found within this repository can be independently run at anytime.

TODO

The following is a list of open items.

• [x] Test Redhat familly Operating Systems
• [x] missing mariadb cluster (should all work needs additional vars)
• [ ] use haproxy instead of the kolide fleet server ip
• [ ] add/update tags
• [ ] convert to roles
• [ ] add testing
