Pingback ElasticSearch Configuration

Development

To quickly set up a running ES instance, make sure you have docker and docker-compose install. Then run docker-compose up in this directory.

ElasticSearch should be running on http://localhost:9200/ and you can view the Kibana GUI at http://localhost:5601/

If you are on Windows, instead install Vagrant. You may have to restart your machine if you didn't previously have Virtualbox. After installing Vagrant, do the following (it may take a while):

vagrant up

Production

  • Install ./elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml as the config file for your ES instance.
  • Install elasticsearch-readonlyrest-plugin
  • It is recommended to use an ES interface like Kibana to browse and graph the ES indeces. Note if Kibana is not running on the same machine as ES, make sure to allow it's IP in the readonlyrest section of elasticsearch.yml

Tips

  • Peruse the ElasticSearch API Doc. It'll be of use if you need to modify any of the indeces.
  • Since the data-model allows multiple pings for a single client to be recorded, you have to be careful to exclude the old pings from your aggregate queries and graphs. A simple way to check pings over the last three days is to search timestamp[-3d to *].
