+1) Default: For general Elastic Stack installations using all features use the following. You will need Redis installed and running for the default setup to run. A viable way is using the `geerlingguy.redis` role. (You can install it with `ansible-galaxy install geerlingguy.redis)
+
+2) Specific: For OSS Installation without X-Pack features you can use the following. _Note_ this is only available for version `7.x`.
+
 Our default configuration will collect filesystem logs placed by `rsyslog`. Therefor our example playbook makes sure, `rsyslog` is installed. If you don't want that, please change the configuration of the `beats` module. Without syslog you won't receive any messages with the default configuration.
 
 There are some comments in the Playbook. Either fill them with the correct values (`remote_user`) or consider them as a hint to commonly used options.
 
 _Note_: The roles rely on hardcoded group names for placing services on hosts. Please make sure you have groups named `elasticsearch`, `logstash` and `kibana` in your Ansible inventory. Hosts in these groups will get the respective services. Restricting your plays to the appropriate hosts will not work because the roles interact with hosts from other groups e.g. for certificate generation.

 If you use the role to set up security you can use its CA to create certificates for Logstash and Kibana, too.

 Role Variables

@@ -16,6 +18,7 @@ Role Variables
 * *elasticsearch_datapath*: Path where Elasticsearch will store it's data. (default: `/var/lib/elasticsearch` - the packages default)
 * *elasticsearch_create_datapath*: Create the path for data to store if it doesn't exist. (default: `false` - only useful if you change `elasticsearch_datapath`)
 * *elasticsearch_fs_repo*: List of paths that should be registered as repository for snapshots (only filesystem supported so far). (default: none) Remember, that every node needs access to the same share under the same path.
+* *elasticsearch_bootstrap_pw*: Bootstrap password for Elasticsearch (Default: `PleaseChangeMe`)
 * *elasticsearch_disable_systemcallfilterchecks*: Disable system call filter checks. This has a security impact but is necessary on some systems. Please refer to the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/_system_call_filter_check.html) for details. (default: `false`)
