Elasticsearch Demo Cluster

Overview

This docker-compose project creates a Elasticsearch cluster with the following topology:

• 5 data nodes
• 3 dedicated master nodes
• 1 dedicated client node
• 1 kibana node pointing to the client node
  • Timelion plugin installed
  • Sense plugin installed
• 1 dockerbeat node submitting container metrics to Elasticsearch

It is very convenient for those situation where you need a more realistic ES deployment than just a couple of nodes running on localhost.

Requirements

• docker 1.9
• docker-compose 1.6

Usage

To start the cluster:

> docker-compose up

Kibana will be available in the following URL:

http://<your_docker_host>:5601

Cluster endpoint via client node:

> curl -XGET <your_docker_host>:9200

For example to check the nodes in the cluster:

> curl -XGET <your_docker_host>/_nodes?pretty=true

Kibana Dashboards

To visualize the Dockerbeat dashboard follow the following steps:

1. Configure an index pattern with the pattern 'dockerbeat-*'
2. Import visualizations and dashboard in kibana-dashboards/dockerbeat.json
3. Enjoy
