Boot2docker and docker

Installation

First install boot2docker if running from the OSX machine (Linuxes require only docker). After installing boot2docker, I usualy edit my /etc/hosts file and add 192.168.59.103 boot2docker.

Build docker images

Create docker images by running the following from terminal (this will normally take a while):

docker build -t okulik/development docker/dev
docker build -t okulik/elasticsearch docker/el
docker build -t okulik/presentation docker/pre

Running docker containers

Dev image contains logstash and some standard dev tools, el contains Elasticsearch with some plugins and pre contains everything needed to run the presentation in a browser (nodejs and revealjs).

Start dev docker container by running:

./rundev

Once inside the running docker container, start el1-3 by running:

./runel1
./runel2
./runel3

I suggest you to increase memory available to boot2docker VM from default 2 GB to 6 GB. This will assure that you'll be able to run ElasticSearch mini cluster on you Mac. Before starting presentation, you need to edit runpre script and replace $HOME/elastic-rubyzg folders with your own absolute path to the folder where you cloned this git repo.

Kibana

Kibana has to be installed separately and run from the development machine. This can be done by running on OSX:

wget https://download.elastic.co/kibana/kibana/kibana-4.0.2-darwin-x64.tar.gz

or on 64-bit Linux:

wget https://download.elastic.co/kibana/kibana/kibana-4.0.2-linux-x64.tar.gz

If running on OSX machine, run kibana from the folder where you unpacked it using:

bin/kibana -e http://boot2docker:9200/

Access Kibana with browser by visiting localhost:5601.

Presentation

Run presentation by visiting boot2docker:8000 in browser. Make sure you're running pre Docker container.

Import samples into ElasticSearch

First make sure you are running at least one ElasticSearch node (el1-3). For logstash import to work you need to know ip address of one of el containers. This can be done by executing:

docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' el1

You need to enter obtained address in the datasets/apache/logstash.conf file, line 28. Import apache log samples by going to the running dev docker image and executing:

/opt/logstash/bin/logstash -f ~/datasets/apache/logstash.conf

apache.log file was obtained by googling for inurl:access.log filetype:log.

queries.txt file contains some random samples of Elasticsearch queries. Enter them with curl using e.g. curl -XGET "http://boot2docker:9200" or Marvel Sense by visiting http://boot2docker:9200/_plugin/marvel/sense/index.html in browser.
