elasticsearch-kibana

• Thin chart wrapper around a deployment of Elasticsearch and Kibana using the ECK Operator.
• This chart is owned by Big Bang and does not point to an upstream chart provided by Elastic or another vendor.
• Open an issue if you would like to request a feature or submit an issue that needs to be fixed/addressed.

Pre-Requisites

The ECK Operator must be deployed beforehand in order to leverage the Elasticsearch and Kibana custom resources. You can use the full BigBang solution or the individual eck operator chart.

Iron Bank

You can pull the registry1 image(s) here and view the container approval here.

Deployment

git clone https://repo1.dso.mil/platform-one/big-bang/apps/core/elasticsearch-kibana.git
cd elasticsearch-kibana
helm install elasticsearch-kibana chart --debug -n logging --create-namespace -f chart/values.yaml

Enterprise License

If you want to experiment with enterprise features for development, you can toggle on a trial license. This is done in the BigBang values as shown below:

logging:
  license:
    trial: true

For production, if you want enterprise features you will need to add your license in the BigBang values as shown below:

logging:
  license:
    trial: false
    keyJSON: |
      {"license":
        {"uid":....
        }
      }

NOTE: You can also squash the license onto a single line as follows, but ensure no quotes are present and you turn it into a multiline value with a Helm pipe:

logging:
  license:
    trial: false
    keyJSON: |
      {"license":{"uid":....}}

Elastic Password

The default "admin" elastic user has its password stored in a secret. To login initially and set up additional users or SSO (see the Keycloak doc) you need to get this password:

kubectl get secrets -n logging logging-ek-es-elastic-user -o go-template='{{.data.elastic | base64decode}}'

Upgrading

Please always check CHANGELOG before upgrading to a new chart version.
