This code was tested using:
- ElasticSearch 5.4.0
- Kibana 5.1.1-SNAPSHOT
Code is compatible with Python 3, older versions are not supported.
We are going to use Chrome Headless mode, so version >=59 of Chrome web browser is needed.
Chromedriver is also needed, you can download latest version from: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home
You'll get a zip file containing a binary called chromedriver. Just extract
it and move it to your PATH. If you are using a Python virtual environment,
you can move it to your venv/bin path. To check your setup execute:
(venv) ➜ snapdash git:(master) ✗ chromedriver
Starting ChromeDriver 2.40.565383 (76257d1ab79276b2d53ee976b2c3e3b9f335cde7) on port 9515
Only local connections are allowed.
