Docker Setup

Selecting a Version

We currently release a development version and a tagged version. The first version to support will be. v1.2.5 once release.

Stable Release Version

To select a released version please do the following.

scripts/docker_select_version.sh tagValue

Example:

scripts/docker_select_version.sh v1.2.5

If you run the script without any version specified it'll list all the current tags and prompt you to select a version.

Once that's complete, all the instructions below are still applicable.

Development Version

If you wish to use the development version you are free to do so. It is the default behavior on any git checkout. Simply follow the directions below and setup your pipeline as instructed.

Build Base Images

This is optional. The image are published on docker hub, but if you'd like to incorporate local changes please follow the process below.

Build Using Source Code

If you would like to build the importer container using the version of the pipeline scripts found in this GitHub repo then run the following:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.build.yml build

Configuring the Containers

Environment File

If you haven't done so already, copy env.example and update it to match your own settings:

cp env.example .env

Rabbit

This portion is primarily to set the Rabbit MQ server. Most of the default settings work but whatever values you set here should be consistent with the config for the logstash and importer

RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE='secret cookie'

RABBIT_HOST=rabbit

RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=guest

RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=guest

discovery.type=single-node

Note the hostname will follow the docker-compose label. You can rename it if you like but by default it's set to rabbit

Importer

The importer config is defined in compose/netsage_shared.xml. If you use different values then the defaults you may want to change them/ NOTE: Changes will require you to rebuild the container

Logstash

Define the input rabbit queue. This should match the importer output queue

rabbitmq_input_host=rabbit

rabbitmq_input_username=guest

rabbitmq_input_pw=guest

Define the output rabbit queue. This can be the docker container or any valid RabbitMQ server.

rabbitmq_output_host=rabbit

rabbitmq_output_username=guest

rabbitmq_output_pw=guest

rabbitmq_output_key=netsage_archive_input

Optional: ElasticSearch and Kibana

You can optionally store flow data locally in an ElasticSearch container and view the data with Kibana. Local storage can be enabled with the following steps:

1. Uncomment the following lines in conf-logstash/99-outputs.conf:

elasticsearch {

hosts => ["elasticsearch"]

index => "netsage_flow-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"

}

2. Comment out the rabbitmq {...} block in conf-logstash/99-outputs.conf if you do not want to also send logstash output to RabbitMQ.

3. Run the containers using the following line: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.develop.yml up -d

Running the Containers

Start the Containers

docker-compose up -d

Stop the Containers

docker-compose stop && docker-compose rm

Enter a Container Shell

docker-compose exec logstash bash #bash shell in logstash container

docker-compose exec importer bash #bash shell in importer container

docker-compose exec rabbit bash #bash shell in rabbit container

View Container Logs

docker-compose logs -f #view logs for all containers

docker-compose logs -f logstash #view logs for logstash container

docker-compose logs -f importer #view logs for importer container

docker-compose logs -f rabbit #view logs for rabbit container
