with **Security**, **Monitoring**, and **Tools**; Up with a Single Command.\n\nSuitable for Demoing, MVPs and small production deployments.\n\nStack Version: [8.0.1](https://www.elastic.co/blog/whats-new-elastic-8-0-0) 🎉  - Based on [Official Elastic Docker Images](https://www.docker.elastic.co/)\n\u003e You can change Elastic Stack version by setting `ELK_VERSION` in `.env` file and rebuild your images. Any version \u003e= 8.0.0 is compatible with this template.\n\n### Main Features 📜\n\n- Configured as a Production Single Node Cluster. (With a multi-node cluster option for experimenting).\n- Security Enabled By Default.\n- Configured to Enable:\n  - Logging \u0026 Metrics Ingestion\n  - APM\n  - Alerting\n  - Machine Learning\n  - SIEM\n  - Enabling Trial License\n- Use Docker-Compose and `.env` to configure your entire stack parameters.\n- Persist Elasticsearch's Keystore and SSL Certifications.\n- Self-Monitoring Metrics Enabled.\n- Prometheus Exporters for Stack Metrics.\n- Collect Docker Host Logs to ELK via `make collect-docker-logs`.\n- Embedded Container Healthchecks for Stack Images.\n- [Rubban](https://github.com/sherifabdlnaby/rubban) for Kibana curating tasks.\n\n#### More points\nAnd comparing Elastdocker and the popular [deviantony/docker-elk](https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk)\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eExpand...\u003c/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nOne of the most popular ELK on Docker repositories is the awesome [deviantony/docker-elk](https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk).\nElastdocker differs from `deviantony/docker-elk` in the following points.\n\n- Security enabled by default using Basic license, not Trial.\n\n- Persisting data by default in a volume.\n\n- Run in Production Mode (by enabling SSL on Transport Layer, and add initial master node settings).\n\n- Persisting Generated Keystore, and create an extendable script that makes it easier to recreate it every-time the container is created.\n\n- Parameterize credentials in .env instead of hardcoding `elastich:changeme` in every component config.\n\n- Parameterize all other Config like Heap Size.\n\n- Add recommended environment configurations as Ulimits and Swap disable to the docker-compose.\n\n- Make it ready to be extended into a multinode cluster.\n\n- Configuring the Self-Monitoring and the Filebeat agent that ship ELK logs to ELK itself. (as a step to shipping it to a monitoring cluster in the future).\n\n- Configured tools and Prometheus Exporters.\n\n- The Makefile that simplifies everything into some simple commands.\n\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n-----\n\n# Requirements\n\n- [Docker 20.05 or higher](https://docs.docker.com/install/)\n- [Docker-Compose 1.29 or higher](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)\n- 4GB RAM (For Windows and MacOS make sure Docker's VM has more than 4GB+ memory.)\n\n# Setup\n\n1. Clone the Repository\n     ```bash\n     git clone https://github.com/sherifabdlnaby/elastdocker.git\n     ```\n2. Initialize Elasticsearch Keystore and TLS Self-Signed Certificates\n    ```bash\n    $ make setup\n    ```\n    \u003e **For Linux's docker hosts only**. By default virtual memory [is not enough](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/vm-max-map-count.html) so run the next command as root `sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144`\n3. Start Elastic Stack\n    ```bash\n    $ make elk           \u003cOR\u003e         $ docker-compose up -d\n    ```\n4. Visit Kibana at [https://localhost:5601](https://localhost:5601) or `https://\u003cyour_public_ip\u003e:5601`\n\n    Default Username: `elastic`, Password: `changeme`\n\n    \u003e - Notice that Kibana is configured to use HTTPS, so you'll need to write `https://` before `localhost:5601` in the browser.\n    \u003e - Modify `.env` file for your needs, most importantly `ELASTIC_PASSWORD` that setup your superuser `elastic`'s password, `ELASTICSEARCH_HEAP` \u0026 `LOGSTASH_HEAP` for Elasticsearch \u0026 Logstash Heap Size.\n    \n\u003e Whatever your Host (e.g AWS EC2, Azure, DigitalOcean, or on-premise server), once you expose your host to the network, ELK component will be accessible on their respective ports. Since the enabled TLS uses a self-signed certificate, it is recommended to SSL-Terminate public traffic using your signed certificates. \n\n\u003e 🏃🏻‍♂️ To start ingesting logs, you can start by running `make collect-docker-logs` which will collect your host's container logs.\n\n## Additional Commands\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eExpand\u003c/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\n#### To Start Monitoring and Prometheus Exporters\n```shell\n$ make monitoring\n```\n#### To Start Tools\n```shell\n$ make tools\n```\n#### To Ship Docker Container Logs to ELK \n```shell\n$ make collect-docker-logs\n```\n#### To Start **Elastic Stack, Tools and Monitoring**\n```\n$ make all\n```\n#### To Start 2 Extra Elasticsearch nodes (recommended for experimenting only)\n```shell\n$ make nodes\n```\n#### To Rebuild Images\n```shell\n$ make build\n```\n#### Bring down the stack.\n```shell\n$ make down\n```\n\n#### Reset everything, Remove all containers, and delete **DATA**!\n```shell\n$ make prune\n```\n\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n# Configuration\n\n* Some Configuration are parameterized in the `.env` file.\n  * `ELASTIC_PASSWORD`, user `elastic`'s password (default: `changeme` _pls_).\n  * `ELK_VERSION` Elastic Stack Version (default: `8.0.1`)\n  * `ELASTICSEARCH_HEAP`, how much Elasticsearch allocate from memory (default: 1GB -good for development only-)\n  * `LOGSTASH_HEAP`, how much Logstash allocate from memory.\n  * Other configurations which their such as cluster name, and node name, etc.\n* Elasticsearch Configuration in `elasticsearch.yml` at `./elasticsearch/config`.\n* Logstash Configuration in `logstash.yml` at `./elasticsearch/config/logstash.yml`.\n* Logstash Pipeline in `main.conf` at `./elasticsearch/pipeline/main.conf`.\n* Kibana Configuration in `kibana.yml` at `./kibana/config`.\n* Rubban Configuration using Docker-Compose passed Environment Variables.\n\n### Setting Up Keystore\n\nYou can extend the Keystore generation script by adding keys to `./setup/keystore.sh` script. (e.g Add S3 Snapshot Repository Credentials)\n\nTo Re-generate Keystore:\n```\nmake keystore\n```\n\n### Notes\n\n\n- ⚠️ Elasticsearch HTTP layer is using SSL, thus mean you need to configure your elasticsearch clients with the `CA` in `secrets/certs/ca/ca.crt`, or configure client to ignore SSL Certificate Verification (e.g `--insecure` in `curl`).\n\n- Adding Two Extra Nodes to the cluster will make the cluster depending on them and won't start without them again.\n\n- Makefile is a wrapper around `Docker-Compose` commands, use `make help` to know every command.\n\n- Elasticsearch will save its data to a volume named `elasticsearch-data`\n\n- Elasticsearch Keystore (that contains passwords and credentials) and SSL Certificate are generated in the `./secrets` directory by the setup command.\n\n- Make sure to run `make setup` if you changed `ELASTIC_PASSWORD` and to restart the stack afterwards.\n\n- For Linux Users it's recommended to set the following configuration (run as `root`)\n    ```\n    sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144\n    ```\n    By default, Virtual Memory [is not enough](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/vm-max-map-count.html).\n\n---------------------------\n\n![Intro](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16992394/156664447-c24c49f4-4282-4d6a-81a7-10743cfa384e.png)\n![Alerting](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16992394/156664848-d14f5e58-8f80-497d-a841-914c05a4b69c.png)\n![Maps](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16992394/156664562-d38e11ee-b033-4b91-80bd-3a866ad65f56.png)\n![ML](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16992394/156664695-5c1ed4a7-82f3-47a6-ab5c-b0ce41cc0fbe.png)\n\n\n# Monitoring The Cluster\n\n### Via Self-Monitoring\n\nHead to Stack Monitoring tab in Kibana to see cluster metrics for all stack components.\n\n![Overview](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16992394/156664539-cc7e1a69-f1aa-4aca-93f6-7aedaabedd2c.png)\n![Moniroting](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16992394/156664647-78cfe2af-489d-4c35-8963-9b0a46904cf7.png)\n\n\u003e In Production, cluster metrics should be shipped to another dedicated monitoring cluster.\n\n### Via Prometheus Exporters\nIf you started Prometheus Exporters using `make monitoring` command. Prometheus Exporters will expose metrics at the following ports.\n\n| **Prometheus Exporter**      | **Port**     | **Recommended Grafana Dashboard**                                         |\n|--------------------------    |----------    |------------------------------------------------  |\n| `elasticsearch-exporter`     | `9114`       | [Elasticsearch by Kristian Jensen](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/4358)                                                |\n| `logstash-exporter`          | `9304`       | [logstash-monitoring by dpavlos](https://github.com/dpavlos/logstash-monitoring)                                               |\n\n![Metrics](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16992394/78685076-89a58900-78f1-11ea-959b-ce374fe51500.jpg)\n\n\n# License\n[MIT License](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sherifabdlnaby/elastdocker/master/LICENSE)\nCopyright (c) 2020 Sherif Abdel-Naby\n\n# Contribution\n\nPR(s) are Open and Welcomed.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdumpysquare%2Felastdocker","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdumpysquare%2Felastdocker","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdumpysquare%2Felastdocker/lists"}
