Example queries:

See http://localhost:3028 for complete docs and examples.

Running

There are several ways to run es-stream-logs:

  1. docker-compose
    • run docker-compose up
  2. or using Python's venv
    • run python -m venv venv
    • install dependencies with ./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
    • start the server with ./venv/bin/python es-stream-logs.py
    • you also need an elasticsearch instance, which you can run using docker: docker run -p 9200:9200 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.8.1

And then visit http://localhost:3028. You can also run ./demo-setup.sh to create an index and insert some test data.

It is also possible to use the docker container directly, and adjusting config.json to point to your Elasticsearch instance:

docker run -it --rm -v $PWD/config.json:/app/config.json spreadshirt/es-stream-logs

Configuration

See config.json for examples of all of the following.

  • default_endpoint, endpoints, indices: set up elasticsearch endpoints and indices to display
  • queries: configure queries to be displayed on the start page for quick access
  • field_format: customize the formatting for a given field, e.g. to display a field as a link to an application that provides additional details
  • default_fields: configure a set of fields to use by default for a given query, for example fields specific to my-app when there is a filter like app=my-app

Development

Use ./scripts/run to fetch dependencies and start the server. Then visit http://localhost:3028. Set ES_USER and ES_PASSWORD in .env, otherwise basic auth credentials will be requested to connect to elasticsearch.
