# Docker ELK stack
|

Run the ELK (Elasticseach, Logstash, Kibana) stack with Docker and Docker-compose.
|
|
|
|
It will give you the ability to quickly test your logstash filters and check how the data can be processed in Kibana.
|
|
|
|
Based on the official images:
|
|
|
|
* [elasticsearch](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/elasticsearch/)
|
|
* [logstash](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/logstash/)
|
|
* [kibana](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/kibana/)
|
|
|
|
# HOW TO
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Install [Docker](http://docker.io).
|
|
2. Install [Docker-compose](http://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
|
|
3. Clone this repository
|
|
|
|
### SELinux
|
|
|
|
On distributions which have SELinux enabled out-of-the-box you will need to either re-context the files or set SELinux into Permissive mode in order for fig-elk to start properly.
|
|
For example on Redhat and CentOS, the following will apply the proper context:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
.-root@centos ~
|
|
`-$ chcon -R system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 fig-elk/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Start the stack and inject logs
|
|
|
|
First step, you can edit the logstash-configuration in *logstash-conf/logstash.conf*. You can add filters you want to test for example.
|
|
|
|
Then, start the ELK stack using *docker-compose*:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker-compose up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also choose to run it in background (detached mode):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now that the stack is running, you'll want to inject logs in it. The shipped logstash configuration allows you to send content via tcp:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ nc localhost 5000 < /path/to/logfile.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Playing with the stack
|
|
|
|
The stack exposes 3 ports on your localhost:
|
|
|
|
* 5000: Logstash TCP input.
|
|
* 9200: Elasticsearch HTTP (with Marvel plugin accessible via [http://localhost:9200/_plugin/marvel](http://localhost:9200/_plugin/marvel))
|
|
* 5601: Kibana 4 web interface, access it via [http://localhost:5601](http://localhost:5601)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Boot2docker
|
|
|
|
If you're using *boot2docker*, you must access it via the *boot2docker* IP address:
|
|
* http://boot2docker-ip-address:9200/_plugin/marvel to access the Marvel plugin.
|
|
* http://boot2docker-ip-address:5601 to use Kibana 4.
