Elasticsearch-Kibana Plugin for Fuel
Elasticsearch-Kibana plugin
Overview
Elasticsearch and Kibana provide a full-text search engine with a flexible web interface for exploring and visualizing data.
Requirements
Requirement | Version/Comment |
---|---|
Mirantis OpenStack compatility | 7.0 or higher |
Recommendations
It is highly recommended to use dedicated disk(s) for data storage. Otherwise Elasticsearch will store its data on the root filesystem.
Limitations
None so far.
Installation Guide
Elasticsearch-Kibana plugin installation
To install the Elasticsearch-Kibana plugin, follow these steps:
-
Download the plugin from the Fuel Plugins Catalog.
-
Copy the plugin file to the Fuel Master node. Follow the Quick start guide if you don't have a running Fuel Master node yet.
scp elasticsearch_kibana-0.8-0.8.0-0.noarch.rpm root@<Fuel Master node IP address>:
-
Install the plugin using the
fuel
command line:fuel plugins --install elasticsearch_kibana-0.8-0.8.0-0.noarch.rpm
-
Verify that the plugin is installed correctly:
fuel plugins --list
Please refer to the Fuel Plugins wiki if you want to build the plugin by yourself. Version 3.0.0 (or higher) of the Fuel Plugin Builder is required.
User Guide
Elasticsearch-Kibana plugin configuration
- Create a new environment with the Fuel UI wizard.
- Click on the Settings tab of the Fuel web UI.
- Scroll down the page, select the "Elasticsearch-Kibana Server plugin" tab, enable the plugin and fill-in the required fields.
- Add a node with the "Elasticsearch Kibana" role.
Heap sizing
By default, 1G of heap memory is allocated to the Elasticsearch process. In many cases this number will be too small. You can modify this value up to 32GB. The recommendation is to give 50% of the available memory to Elasticsearch. If you set a value that is greater than the memory size of the node, Elasticsearch won't start.
Disks partitioning
The plugin uses:
- 20% of the first disk for the operating system by honoring the range of 15GB minimum and 50GB maximum.
- 10GB for /var/log.
- at least 30GB for the Elasticsearch data (/opt/es-data).
Testing
Elasticsearch
Once installed, you can check that Elasticsearch is working using curl
:
curl http://$HOST:9200/
Where HOST
is the IP address or the name of the node that runs the server.
The expected output is something like this:
{
"status" : 200,
"name" : "node-23-es-01",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"version" : {
"number" : "1.4.4",
"build_hash" : "c88f77ffc81301dfa9dfd81ca2232f09588bd512",
"build_timestamp" : "2015-02-19T13:05:36Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "4.10.3"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
Kibana
The Kibana user interface is available at the following URL:
Where HOST
is the IP address or the name of the node. By default, you will
be redirected to the logs dashboard.
Known issues
None.
