Grunt build system

This grunt-based build system handles Kibana development environment setup for Marvel as well as building, packaging and distribution of the Marvel plugin. Note that you must run grunt setup before any other tasks as this build system reuses parts of the Kibana build system that must be fetched

Installing

You will need node.js+npm and grunt. Node is available via brew, install grunt with the command below. Once grunt is installed you may run grunt tasks to setup your environment and build Marvel

npm install -g grunt npm install

Tasks

grunt setup

Run this first. It will download the right Kibana version to ./vendor/kibana, copies the appropriate config.js to the right place and make any symlinks needed for a proper marvel/kibana environment

grunt server

Starts a web server on http://127.0.0.1:5601 pointing at the kibana directory, while also serving custom marvel panels.

You can use grunt server --port=5601 --es_host=9200 to control the ports used for kibana and the elasticsearch port used.

grunt jshint

Lints code without building

grunt build

Merges kibana and marvel code, builds Kibana and the plugin (via mvn) and puts them in ./build.

grunt package

Zips and tar+gzips the build in ./packages. Includes grunt build

grunt release

Uploads archives to download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/marvel/marvel-VERSION.extention. Includes grunt build and grunt package. You will need S3 credentials in .aws-config.json. Format as so:

{
  "key":"MY_KEY_HERE",
  "secret":"your/long/secret/string"
}
