Hey, all.

Today I tried to create juju bundle with
logstash+elasticsearch+kibana+rails. Here is approximate bundle that I used
- https://gist.github.com/allomov/088d54229c051a6266b4 (I needed to do some
stuff manually). Here is my impressions and experience:

   1. logstash charms are outdated:
      1. current logstash stable version is 1.4.2 vs 1.1/1.2 in the charms;
      2. charms are written in bash without using charmhelpers;
      3. embedded elasticsearch of logstash-indexer charm is not compatible
      with actual version of kibana charm;
      4. current version of elasticsearch charm doesn't support relation
      with logstash-indexer.
   2. logstash-agent is build to use redis embedded in logstash-indexer.
   I'm not sure that this is correct solution since user may want to connect
   his redis to charms or create redis cluster. Adding implicit connection
   of logstash-agent to logstash-indexer through redis will make architecture
   more clear.

I'm pretty sure that logstash charms need to be updated with latest
charmhelpers and python implementation. What do you think about it ?

Thank you,
Alex L.
