Features

There is currently only one difference between this implementation and the upstream image.

• Enables Prometheus plugin for metrics.

Getting Started

This implementation is designed to be used with a Helm chart. However, there is a docker compose file included for testing this implementation locally. Bringing up a test cluster and discovering the client endpoint is easily done with just 2 commands.

docker-compose up

It will likely take a few minutes for the containers to start and you can verify when it is available using curl.

curl $(docker-compose port kibana 5601)

Prerequisites

The only requirements for bringing up this implementation locally is Docker.

Docker 17.12.0+

Installing

It is expected that the Helm chart will be used to install this container. For local development, there are a number of ways to interact with Kibana.

The Kibana endpoint is the main way applications interact with Kibana.

docker-compose port kibana 5601

The Elasticsearch endpoint can be found with the following command.

docker-compose port elasticsearch 9200

Environmental Variables

See the official documentation for Kibana running in Docker.

Deployment

For use on live systems, see the documentation for the Helm chart.
