This repository will install MongoDB to monitor it with the Elastic Stack (using Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash) and X-Pack. You can start from scratch and configure everything with Vagrant and Ansible.
Slides for the workshop.
- Logs: Collect the MongoDB log and parse it in a sensible fashion.
- Metrics: Collect the statistics MongoDB provides.
- Network: Monitor the MongoDB network traffic and visualize its performance.
- Activity: Generate MongoDB data with POCDriver:
- Show a sample dataset:
$ java -jar /opt/pocdriver/bin/POCDriver.jar -p - Do 20 key lookups, do 10 inserts, uupdate 10 documents by incrementing an integer in them, and use a batch size of 20:
$ java -jar /opt/pocdriver/bin/POCDriver.jar -k 20 -i 10 -u 10 -b 20
- Show a sample dataset:
- Generate more data including errors:
$ mongo /elastic-stack/mongodb.js
Do a simple vagrant up by using Vagrant's Ansible provisioner. All you need is a working Vagrant installation (2.0.0+ but the latest version is always recommended), a provider (tested with the latest VirtualBox version), and 2.5GB of RAM.
With the Ansible playbooks in the /elastic-stack/ folder you can configure the whole system step by step. Just run them in the given order inside the Vagrant box:
> vagrant ssh
$ ansible-playbook /elastic-stack/1_configure-mongodb.yml
$ ansible-playbook /elastic-stack/2_configure-elasticsearch.yml
$ ansible-playbook /elastic-stack/3_configure-kibana.yml
$ ansible-playbook /elastic-stack/4_configure-beats.yml
$ ansible-playbook /elastic-stack/5_configure-dashboards.yml
$ ansible-playbook /elastic-stack/6_configure-logstash.yml
Or if you are in a hurry, run all playbooks with $ /elastic-stack/all.sh at once.
For workshops, reset the fully configured environment with $ ansible-playbook /elastic-stack/prepare-workshop.yml.
Access Kibana at http://localhost:5601. You will need to login into Kibana with the default credentials — username elastic and password changeme.
