# Kafkabeat

Welcome to Kafkabeat. Kafkabeat is a beat that allows you to read data from kafka and index the results into elasticsearch.

Ensure that this folder is at the following location:
`${GOPATH}/github.com/dearcode`

## Getting Started with Kafkabeat

### Requirements

* [Golang](https://golang.org/dl/) 1.7

### Init Project
To get running with Kafkabeat and also install the
dependencies, run the following command:

```
make setup
```

It will create a clean git history for each major step. Note that you can always rewrite the history if you wish before pushing your changes.

To push Kafkabeat in the git repository, run the following commands:

```
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/dearcode/kafkabeat
git push origin master
```

For further development, check out the [beat developer guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/new-beat.html).

### Build

To build the binary for Kafkabeat run the command below. This will generate a binary
in the same directory with the name kafkabeat.

```
make
```

### Run

topics: "topic1,topic2"
# group kafka consumer group.
group: "kafkabeat"

```

### Test

```
make testsuite
```

alternatively:
```
make unit-tests
make system-tests
make integration-tests
make coverage-report
```

The test coverage is reported in the folder `./build/coverage/`

### Update

Each beat has a template for the mapping in elasticsearch and a documentation for the fields
which is automatically generated based on `etc/fields.yml`.
To generate etc/kafkabeat.template.json and etc/kafkabeat.asciidoc

```
make update
```

### Cleanup

To clean Kafkabeat source code, run the following commands:

```
make fmt
make simplify
```

To clean up the build directory and generated artifacts, run:

```
make clean
```

### Clone

To clone Kafkabeat from the git repository, run the following commands:

```
mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/github.com/dearcode
cd ${GOPATH}/github.com/dearcode
git clone https://github.com/dearcode/kafkabeat
```

For further development, check out the [beat developer guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/new-beat.html).

## Packaging

The beat frameworks provides tools to crosscompile and package your beat for different platforms. This requires [docker](https://www.docker.com/) and vendoring as described above. To build packages of your beat, run the following command:

```
make package
```

This will fetch and create all images required for the build process. The hole process to finish can take several minutes.
