Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: Restless-ET.filebeat,
         filebeat_prospectors:
           - {
             document_type: syslog,
             paths: ['/var/log/syslog']
           }
       }
