elasticsearch-paris-accidentology-demo

Introduction

This Docker Compose project is an application which intends to demonstrate ELK capabilities through Paris city accidentology use case

Architecture

This application is a ES based logging architecture that combines:

• A logtsash-forwarder that consumes the source/accidentology-with-geo-final.csv file
• A logstash instance that processes the message before pushing to a Kafka cluster
• A Kafka cluster (composed of 2 instances) that receives message and buffer them
• A logstash instance that indexes the message in Elasticsearch
• A single Elasticsearch node cluster
• A Kibana 4 instance to visualize the data

This application also showcases Elasticsearch commercial plugin:

• Marvel is installed and let you follow the activity of the ES cluster
• Shield is included and secure the overall ES cluster: you need to refer to the below LDAP section to understand which user should be used in order to interact with the cluster.
• Watcher is installed but no watch are included.
