|
|
======
|
|
|
|
The Kibana chart in OpenStack-Helm Infra provides visualization for logs indexed
|
|
into Elasticsearch. These visualizations provide the means to view logs captured
|
|
from services deployed in cluster and targeted for collection by Fluentbit.
|
|
|
|
Authentication
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The Kibana deployment includes a sidecar container that runs an Apache reverse
|
|
proxy to add authentication capabilities for Kibana. The username and password
|
|
are configured under the Kibana entry in the endpoints section of the chart's
|
|
values.yaml.
|
|
|
|
The configuration for Apache can be found under the conf.httpd key, and uses a
|
|
helm-toolkit function that allows for including gotpl entries in the template
|
|
directly. This allows the use of other templates, like the endpoint lookup
|
|
function templates, directly in the configuration for Apache.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Kibana's configuration is driven by the chart's values.yaml file. The configuration
|
|
options are found under the following keys:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
conf:
|
|
elasticsearch:
|
|
pingTimeout: 1500
|
|
preserveHost: true
|
|
requestTimeout: 30000
|
|
shardTimeout: 0
|
|
startupTimeout: 5000
|
|
i18n:
|
|
defaultLocale: en
|
|
kibana:
|
|
defaultAppId: discover
|
|
index: .kibana
|
|
logging:
|
|
quiet: false
|
|
silent: false
|
|
verbose: false
|
|
ops:
|
|
interval: 5000
|
|
server:
|
|
host: localhost
|
|
maxPayloadBytes: 1048576
|
|
port: 5601
|
|
ssl:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
|
|
The case of the sub-keys is important as these values are injected into
|
|
Kibana's configuration configmap with the toYaml function. More information on
|
|
the configuration options and available settings can be found in the official
|
|
Kibana documentation_.

Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
.. code_block: bash
|
|
|
|
helm install --namespace=<namespace> local/kibana --name=kibana
|
|
|
|
Setting Time Field
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
For Kibana to successfully read the logs from Elasticsearch's indexes, the time
|
|
field will need to be manually set after Kibana has successfully deployed. Upon
|
|
visiting the Kibana dashboard for the first time, a prompt will appear to choose the
|
|
time field with a drop down menu. The default time field for Elasticsearch indexes
|
|
is '@timestamp'. Once this field is selected, the default view for querying log entries
|
|
can be found by selecting the "Discover"
