I am trying to run Kibana 4.4.1 on an IBM Bluemix PaaS as a nodejs application. In my implementation, i use cloudfoundry to connect to the PaaS cloud.
I was able to run Kibana 4.1.1 on PaaS using the following steps
> Download Kibana from here to your personal desktop:
> https://download.elastic.co/kibana/kibana/kibana-4.1.1-windows.zip
> Extract the files using WinZip and navigate to /src/config/index.js
> Modify the following line from:
> // Set defaults for config file stuff
> kibana.port = kibana.port || 5601;
> To the following:
> kibana.port = process.env.PORT || 5601;
> Once the change has been made save the file.
> Navigate to the folder /src/ and create a new file called manifest.yml. The contents of this file should be the following:
> ---
> applications:
> - name: %name%
> host: %name%
> memory: %memory%
> domain: asdy.gfbryb..mybluemix.net
> instances: 1
> command: node ./bin/kibana.js
> env:
> NODE_ENV: production
> CONFIG_PATH: ./config/kibana.yml
> This file will tell Blue Mix how to run this application once uploaded. The %name% should be the same as the application name within Blue Mix. For %memory% use an increment of 128M, 256M, 512M.
> Navigate to the folder /src/config/ and open the file kibana.yml. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
> bundled_plugin_ids:
> - plugins/dashboard/index
> - plugins/discover/index
> - plugins/doc/index
> - plugins/kibana/index
> - plugins/markdown_vis/index
> - plugins/metric_vis/index
> - plugins/settings/index
> - plugins/table_vis/index
> - plugins/vis_types/index
> - plugins/visualize/index
> In the same file we need to update the variable “elasticsearch_url” to point to the virtual machine’s IP:
> elasticsearch_url: "http://<Virtual Machine IP>:9200"
> Save the file when finished.
> Download the Cloud Foundary Command Line Interface (CF CLI) here:
> https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/releases
> Once CF CLI has been installed follow the steps from the webpage we need to connect to Blue Mix. Open up command prompt on your computer by navigating to Start -> Run and typing in “CMD”:
>
> To connect to Blue Mix use the command “cf api https://api.ng.bluemix.net”:
>
> Log in to Blue Mix “cf login –u user_name –o org_name –s space_name”:
>
> User_name is your login for Blue Mix
> Org_name is the organization that will house the application(s)
> Space_name is the folder which the application will be stored
> To upload the application use the command cf push in the following syntax “cf push appname –m 512m”
>
> When pushing the application make sure the directory is the /src/ folder of kibana.
but these steps dont work for Kibana 4.4.1 as the directory structure is completely different. I tried to push Kibana to PaaS by moving to the src folder and typing the cf push command, but it fails to upload.
Has anyone tried to do this?
