Install using the RPM file¶
To install the StackLight Elasticsearch-Kibana Fuel plugin using the RPM file from the Fuel plugins’ catalog:
Go to the Fuel plugins’ catalog.
From the Filter drop-down menu, select the Mirantis OpenStack version you are using and the MONITORING category.
Download the RPM file.
Copy the RPM file to the Fuel Master node:
[root@home ~]# scp elasticsearch_kibana-0.10-0.10.0-0.noarch.rpm \ root@<Fuel Master node IP address>:
Install the plugin using the Fuel Plugins CLI:
[root@fuel ~]# fuel plugins --install elasticsearch_kibana-0.10-0.10.0-0.noarch.rpm
Verify that the plugin is installed correctly:
[root@fuel ~]# fuel plugins --list id | name | version | package_version ---|----------------------|----------|---------------- 1 | elasticsearch_kibana | 0.10.0 | 4.0.0
Install from source¶
Alternatively, you can build the RPM file of the plugin from source if, for example, you want to test the latest features of the master branch or customize the plugin.
Caution
Running a Fuel plugin that you built from source is at your own risk and is not supported.
Before you install the StackLight Elasticsearch-Kibana plugin from source, prepare an environment to build the RPM file. We recommend building the RPM file directly on the Fuel Master node not to copy that file later on.
To prepare an environment for building the plugin on the Fuel Master node:
Install the standard Linux development tools:
[root@home ~] yum install createrepo rpm rpm-build dpkg-devel
Install
pip
:[root@home ~] easy_install pip
Install the Fuel Plugin Builder (the
fpb
command line) usingpip
:[root@home ~] pip install fuel-plugin-builder
Note
You may also need to build the Fuel Plugin Builder if the package version of the plugin is higher than the package version supported by the Fuel Plugin Builder you get from
pypi
. For instructions on how to build the Fuel Plugin Builder, see the Fuel Plugin SDK Guide.Clone the plugin repository:
[root@home ~] git clone \ https://github.com/openstack/fuel-plugin-elasticsearch-kibana.git
Verify that the plugin is valid:
[root@home ~] fpb --check ./fuel-plugin-elasticsearch-kibana
Build the plugin:
[root@home ~] fpb --build ./fuel-plugin-elasticsearch-kibana
To install the plugin:
Once you create the RPM file, install the plugin:
[root@fuel ~] fuel plugins --install \ ./fuel-plugin-elasticsearch-kibana/*.noarch.rpm
Verify that the plugin is installed correctly:
[root@fuel ~]# fuel plugins --list id | name | version | package_version ---|----------------------|----------|---------------- 1 | elasticsearch_kibana | 0.10.0 | 4.0.0
