Append to the config/kibana.yml file the host of ElastAlert server, if it is different than localhost. Typically the case if you are running on macOS.

elastalert.serverHost: docker.for.mac.localhost

Starting the ElastAlert server

Docker installation

The default configuration uses localhost as ES host. You will want to mount the volumes for configuration and rule files to keep them after container updates.

In order to do that conviniently, please do a git clone https://github.com/bitsensor/elastalert.git; cd elastalert

Bash

docker run -d -p 3030:3030 \
    -v `pwd`/config/elastalert.yaml:/opt/elastalert/config.yaml \
    -v `pwd`/config/config.json:/opt/elastalert-server/config/config.json \
    -v `pwd`/rules:/opt/elastalert/rules \
    -v `pwd`/rule_templates:/opt/elastalert/rule_templates \
    --net="host" \
    --name elastalert bitsensor/elastalert:latest

Development

Branch strategy

The repository is split in a develop branch, targeted at Kibana 4 development, and a kibana5 branch. If changes are made in develop that should be applied to all kibana versions, make sure to pick that commit in both the develop as well as kibana5 branch.

Tests

Run the browser tests in a real web browser, or mocha.

npm run test:browser
npm run test:server

Kibana Plugin Development
