If you are working with ElasticSearch, it’s useful to be able to test locally. Thanks to the magic of docker, that’s simpler than ever:
version: '3'
services:
elasticsearch:
image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.1
ports:
- "9200:9200"
- "9300:9300"
environment:
- "discovery.type=single-node"
volumes:
- ./data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
kibana:
image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.6.1
ports:
- "5601:5601"
(I need to use a volume, because my root partition is tiny). With these containers running, you can set up filebeat (e.g. in vagrant), and start shipping logs. It’s then simple to test an ingest pipeline:
curl "http://localhost:9200/_ingest/pipeline/foo" -X "PUT" -d @ingest/foo.json -H 'content-type: application/json'
Or an index template:
curl "http://localhost:9200/_template/foo" -X "PUT" -d @index-template/foo.json -H 'content-type: application/json'
Or an ILM policy:
curl "http://localhost:9200/_ilm/policy/foo" -X "PUT" -d @ilm-policy/foo.json -H 'content-type: application/json'
If you want to play with APM too, you also need that server running:
apm:
image: docker.elastic.co/apm/apm-server:7.6.1
ports:
- "8200:8200"
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
