Available variables

By default, Elasticsearch will listen to the public interfaces (_site_ cf. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/important-settings.html#network.host), so you will have to secure it, with firewall rules for example.
Curator
Curator can be installed. :
elasticsearch_curator: enable the package installation (default:False) ;
Head plugin
The "head" plugin can be installed :
elasticsearch_plugin_head: enable the plugin installation (default:False) ;elasticsearch_plugin_head_basedir: base directory (default :/var/www) ;elasticsearch_plugin_head_clone_name: directory name for git clone.
To use this plugin, you have to run the built-in webserver (using Grunt/NodeJS), or point a webserver to the path. More details here : https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head#running-with-built-in-server
For example, to run the built-in server, with "www-data" user :
# sudo -u www-data bash -c 'cd /var/www/elasticsearch-head && grunt server'
