OpenShift ElasticSearch plugin

This is an OpenShift plugin to ElasticSearch to:

Dynamically update the SearchGuard ACL based on a user's name
Transform kibana index requests to support multitenant deployments

Configuring your initial ACLs

With the update to use Searchguard-2 and Searchguard-SSL for ES 2.4.x, the OpenShift-Elasticsearch-Plugin assumes the initial ACLs are seeded when the cluster is started.

You can view sample configurations [here] (./samples/).

As with sgadmin, the plugin needs to use the certificate with a DN that matches the searchguard.authcz.admin_dn as defined in the ES config to be able to update the Searchguard index. You can specify the certificate and truststore information for the esClient with the following properties.

Property	Description
openshift.searchguard.keystore.path	The certificate that contains the cert and key for the admin_dn. Default: /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/admin.jks
openshift.searchguard.truststore.path	The truststore that contains the certificate for Elasticsearch. Default: /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/logging-es.truststore.jks
openshift.searchguard.keystore.password	The password to open the keystore. Default: kspass
openshift.searchguard.truststore.password	The password to open the truststore. Default: tspass
openshift.searchguard.keystore.type	The file type for the keystore. JKS or PKCS12 are accepted. Default: JKS
openshift.searchguard.truststore.type	The file type for the truststore. JKS or PKCS12 are accepted. Default: JKS

Configure the projects for '.operations'

You can configure which projects are deemed part of the .operations index for ACL configuration.

In your config file:

openshift.operations.project.names: ["default", "openshift", "openshift-infra"]

The defaults must all be in lower-case to be properly matched.

Additional Configuration Parameters

The following additional parameters can be set in set in elasticsearch.yml:

Property	Description
io.fabric8.elasticsearch.acl.sync_delay_millis	The delay in milliseconds before the SG AGL document is resynced with OpenShift
io.fabric8.elasticsearch.acl.user_profile_prefix	The prefix to use to store Kibana user visualizations (default: `.kibana.USERUUID`)
io.fabric8.elasticsearch.kibana.mapping.app	Absolute file path to a JSON document that defines the index mapping for applications
io.fabric8.elasticsearch.kibana.mapping.ops	Absolute file path to a JSON document that defines the index mapping for operations
*io.fabric8.elasticsearch.kibana.mapping.empty	Absolute file path to a JSON document that defines the index mapping for blank indexes
openshift.config.project_index_prefix	The string value that project/namespace indices use as their prefix (default: ``) for example, with the
common data model, if the namespace is `test`, the index name will be
`project.test.$uuid.YYYY.MM.DD`. In this case, use `"project"` as the
prefix - do not include the trailing `.`.

Note: The io.fabric8.elasticsearch.kibana.mapping.* properties are required and must be defined for the plugin to function. A sample file may be found in the samples folder.

Development

Following are the dependencies

[ElasticSearch 2.4.4] (https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/tree/2.4)
[Search-Guard 2.4.4.10] (https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard/tree/2.4.4.10)
[Search-Guard-SSL 2.4.4.19] (https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard-ssl/tree/2.4.4.19)

Remote Debugging deployed to Openshift

Edit the Elasticsearch deployment config:

$oc edit dc/$ES_DCNAME

Add environment variable:

...
    spec:
      containers:
      - env:
        - name: ES_JAVA_OPTS
          value: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=4021
...

Forward the debug port

oc port-forward $ES_PODNAME 4000:4021

Attach Eclipse debugger to forwarded port

Debugging and running from Eclipse

Note: Mileage may vary here as this has not been verified since the plugin was compatible with ES1.7x
