Hi,

For my ELK role I created a service each for elasticsearch, kibana and logstash. It just makes it easier to start and stop the ELK stack components and you can enable them at boot. You can see the role I created here with all the code:

Have you tried below command in playbook ?


tasks:

  - shell: ps aux | grep node/bin/node

     register: ps_cmd

   - name: Show captured processes

      debug:

         var: ps_cmd.stdout

your role uses systemd. Therefore, may be the best solution should be to have the check whether service is running in systemd service rather than in Ansible. On Ansible side then one would use only the service and systemd modules.

The following gist uses PIDFile definition by googling.
