Developer Image for Apache Metron on Virtualbox

Prerequisites

As with the Singlenode Full Image, the computer used to deploy Apache Metron will need to have the following components installed.

• Ansible (2.0.0.2 or 2.2.2.0)
• Vagrant 1.8.1
• Virtualbox 5.0.16
• Python 2.7.11
• Maven 3.3.9

Ensure vagrant hostmanager is installed

To check and make sure you have the plugin installed execute the following:

 vagrant plugin list

If you have it installed you should see the following listed in the output:

  vagrant-hostmanager (1.8.1)

If it is not installed, you can install it with the following command:

  vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager

Launch the Metron Development Image

Start the image with the following commands:

  cd metron-deployment/vagrant/codelab-platform
  ./run.sh

Work with Metron

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:

./run_enrichment_role.sh

Remember Navigate to the following resources to explore your newly minted Apache Metron environment.

• Metron
• Ambari
• Services

Connecting to the host through SSH is as simple as running the following command.

   vagrant ssh
