inftec/kibana repository overview

⁠Dockerfile for Kibana v4

This Dockerfile contains the Kibana⁠ Dashboard. The default Kibana port 5601 is exposed.

To run this container you'll need a separate elasticsearch server. Kibana automatically proxies all requests from the dashboard to the elasticsearch server. So the ES server doesn't need to be accessible from the internet.

⁠Tags

Available Kibana Versions:

4.0.0-BETA2
4.0.0-BETA3
4.0.0-RC1
4.0.0
4.0.1
4.0.2, latest

⁠Run

To connect to an elasticsearch server on the docker host, run this:

docker run -e ELASTICSEARCH=http://172.17.42.1:9200 -P marcbachmann/kibana4

⁠Upgrade

⁠from 4.0.0-RC1 to 4.0.0

There was a bug in the automatic config migration of Kibana 4.0.0-RC1.
If you're migrating from v4.0.0-RC1 to v4.0.0, you have to execute the following command.

BODY=`curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/.kibana/config/4.0.0-rc1/_source'`;
curl -XPUT "localhost:9200/.kibana/config/4.0.0" -d "$BODY" && curl -XDELETE "localhost:9200/.kibana/config/4.0.0-rc1"

⁠Options

Most configuration variables can be set using environment variables.

ENV VAR         - default value
---------------------------------------
ELASTICSEARCH   = http://172.17.42.1:9200
KIBANA_INDEX    = .kibana
DEFAULT_APP_ID  = discover
REQUEST_TIMEOUT = 60
SHARD_TIMEOUT   = 30000
VERIFY_SSL      = true

⁠Linking Elasticsearch Container

When running Elasticsearch as a docker container, we can link Kibana to Elasticsearch by defining a link named elasticsearch:

docker run -d --name myElasticSearch elasticsearch
docker run -d --link myElasticSearch:elasticsearch -P marcbachmann/kibana4

Note: Elasticsearch needs to expose the default http port 9200
