Elastalert Install Script
This folder contains a script for installing Elastalert. Use this script along with the run-elastalert script to run Elastalert alongside Elasticsearch. See the run-elastalert script for more information about ElastAlert.
This script has been tested on the following operating systems:
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 20.04
- Amazon Linux 2
- CentOS 7
There is a good chance it will work on other flavors of Debian, CentOS, and RHEL as well.
Quick start
This module depends on bash-commons, so you must install that project first as documented in its README.
The easiest way to use this module is with the Gruntwork Installer:
gruntwork-install \
--module-name "install-elastalert" \
--repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/package-elastalert" \
--tag "<VERSION>"
Checkout the releases to find the latest version.
The install-elastalert script will install ElastAlert and the run-elastalert script. You
can execute the run-elastalert script when the server is booting to start ElastAlert.
Command line Arguments
Run install-elastalert --help to see all available arguments, or just check out the install-elastalert source
code.
