This project fully automates the provisioning and deployment of Apache Metron and all necessary prerequisites on a single, virtualized host running on Virtualbox.
This image is designed for quick deployment of a single node Metron cluster running on Virtualbox. This platform is ideal for use by Metron developers. It uses a base image that has been pre-loaded with Ambari and HDP.
Metron is composed of many components and installing all of these on a single host, especially a virtualized one, will greatly stress the resources of the host. The host will require at least 8 GB of RAM and a fair amount of patience. It is highly recommended that you shut down all unnecessary services. To that end the vagrant file configuration defaults to disabling solr and yaf.
As with the Full Development Platform (metron-deployment/vagrant/full-dev-platform), the computer used to deploy Apache Metron will need the following components installed.
cd incubator-metron mvn clean package -DskipTests
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
cd metron-deployment/vagrant/quick-dev-platform vagrant up
Should the process fail before completing the deployment, the following command will continue the deployment process without re-instantiating the host.
vagrant provision
Navigate to the following resources to explore your newly minted Apache Metron environment.
As you build out new capabilities for Metron, you will need to re-deploy the Storm topologies. To do so, first HALT the running Storm topologies and then run the following command.
./run_enrichment_role.sh
Connecting to the host through SSH is as simple as running the following command.
vagrant ssh
