Kibana APB

This Ansible Playbook Bundle deploys Kibana

Two plans have been defined:

• Ephemeral where there won't be any persistence and the Kibana cached data and browser optimization data will be lost upon restarts
• Persistent where PVCs will be created and subsequent starts will be faster as the cached data will be reused.

Configuration

• application_name: Name of the Kibana objects deployed. Default kibana
• kibana_memory_limit: Memory limits to be set to the kibana container. The half will be assigned to the Elasticsearch heap. Default 256Mi
• kibana_pvc_size: Size of each Persistent Volume Claim that will be defined. Default 200Mi (Only for the persistent plan)
• kibana_version: Dropdown to select the Elasticsearch version to deploy
• kibana_secure: Whether to secure or not Kibana using OpenShift OAuth Proxy that will allow only authenticated users with access to the Kibana service to access the application.

Elasticsearch dependency

Kibana is a UI for Elasticsearch therefore it requires to connect to some existing Elasticsearch instance. This is usually done by defining the ELASTICSEARCH_URL environment variable so in order to inject such variable there are two possibilities.

1. Bind an existing Elasticsearch APB secret to the Kibana application.
2. Manually define the variable in the DeploymentConfig.

$ oc env dc/kibana ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200
