Since I was ask on hub.docker.com if my qnib/elk image is going to provide kibana4 in the near future I figured it would be worth to blog about it. The image in question is quite nice for trying the ELK stack out and I take some pride in stating that it's the number 2 image popping up if you search for 'elasticsearch' (and rank by stars). :) qnib/elk (:kibana4) For those of you who just want to play around with a ELK-stack in one image I just created a kibana4-version (qnib/elk:kibana4). added kibana4 into the qnib/elk image. To start is without external images, just fetch the elk docker-compose file and off you go. $ mkdir -p mystack; cd mystack/ $ curl -Lso docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChristianKniep/docker-elk/master/docker-compose.yml $ compose up -d Creating mystack_elk_1... Afterwards consul will provide insides on which service is up'n'running... Hello World Once everything is green the world is open to be explored. :) First a log message should be pushed, otherwise the logstash index won't be created and there is nothing to look at. $ echo HelloWorld | nc -w1 192.168.99.100 5514 Kibana3 shows up by reaching out to :8080/kibana/: Kibana4 is available underneath :5601. But (and that is why I was reluctant so far), somehow it seems to be impossible to preconfigure the settings. Maybe that had changed, but I couldn't find a file based way of doing so. Enjoy! Even though YMMV... :)
