Introduction

infinit.e-processing-engine...

Installing infinit.e-record-engine - pre-requisites

The record engine RPM provides two capabilities:

• (always) provides the Kibana widget (and its associated webapp) for searching, viewing, and aggregating records
• (optionally) provides an integrated Logstash ingest capability to create records

If installing Logstash - for online installs on Centos/RH 6.x, no pre-requisites are necessary; for offline installs and Centos 5.x (which can't access the Logstash repository), the following additional step is necessary (assumes the Ikanow-prereqs.repo is installed)

yum install infinit.e-logstash-installer.offline

Installing infinit.e-record-engine

To install from the Ikanow repo, run:

yum install infinit.e-record-engine

For offline installs:

Within terminal navigate to the directory that contains the infint.e-record-engine RPM and type the following command to start the installation process:

yum --disablerepo=* localinstall infinit.e-record-engine-*.rpm --nogpgcheck

For non-Logstash installs, no further steps are necessary.

Installing infinit.e-record-engine - installing the logstash harvester

Once the record engine RPM has been installed, and if the logstash RPMs are installed (see above), then there are 3 ways of installing logstash:

1. Test only: won't run logstash on published sources, but can be used to increase the number of tests that can be run concurrently. "sh /opt/logstash-infinite/scripts/logstash_install.sh"
2. Master: will run logstash on all published sources. Exactly one of these must be present in every logstash-enabled cluster. "sh /opt/logstash-infinite/scripts/logstash_install.sh master"
   1. (will also enable test and "slave" mode)
3. Slave: will run logstash only on sources with the "distributed" flag set. Multiple slaves can be run in each cluster. "sh /opt/logstash-infinite/scripts/logstash_install.sh slave"
   1. (will also enable test mode)
