TODO

Do all this in your test environment so you don't need to worry about firewalls and user auth:

1. gandalf: Spin up a VM for logging - install graylog as per instructions. Point some rsyslog stuff towards it. Review the tutorials.
2. ripley: Spin up a VM with Prometheus and Grafana - install node-exporter on one of your other boxes, and point that towards your Prometheus server.
3. faith: Spin up a VM for Elasticsearch + Logstash + Kibana and set up Metricbeat on one of your other boxes, and point that towards your Elasticsearch server.
