Docker ELASTICSEARCH

Requirements

Setup

1. Install Docker.
2. Install Docker-compose.
3. Clone this repository

Usage

Start the ELK stack using docker-compose:

$ docker-compose up

You can also choose to run it in background (detached mode):

$ docker-compose up -d

Now that the stack is running, you'll want to inject logs in it. The shipped logstash configuration allows you to send content via tcp:

$ nc localhost 5000 < /path/to/logfile.log

Storage

How can I store Elasticsearch data?

The data stored in Elasticsearch will be persisted after container reboot but not after container removal.

In order to persist Elasticsearch data even after removing the Elasticsearch container, you'll have to mount a volume on your Docker host. Update the elasticsearch container declaration to:

elasticsearch:
  build: elasticsearch/
  command: elasticsearch -Des.network.host=_non_loopback_
  ports:
    - "9200:9200"
  volumes:
    - /path/to/storage:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data

This will store elasticsearch data inside /path/to/storage.
