OpenShift Container Platform Installation

The assets from this plugin can be integrated into OpenShift's Aggregated Logging facility.

First clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/sabre1041/kibana-ansi
$ cd kibana-ansi

Login to an OpenShift environment with privileges to modify the logging project (or whichever contains the Aggregated Logging framework).

$ oc login

Create a ConfigMap containing the plugin assets

$ oc create configmap kibana-ansi --from-file=index.js --from-file=package.json --from-file=public/ansi.js

Patch the Kibana DeploymentConfig to mount the ConfigMap's previously configured

oc patch dc/logging-kibana -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"volumes":[{"name":"kibana-ansi-type","configMap":{"name":"kibana-ansi","items":[{"key":"ansi.js","path":"ansi.js"}],"defaultMode":420}},{"name":"kibana-ansi-index","configMap":{"name":"kibana-ansi","items":[{"key":"index.js","path":"index.js"}],"defaultMode":420}},{"name":"kibana-ansi-package","configMap":{"name":"kibana-ansi","items":[{"key":"package.json","path":"package.json"}],"defaultMode":420}}],"containers":[{"name":"kibana","volumeMounts":[{"name":"kibana-ansi-index","mountPath":"/usr/share/kibana/installedPlugins/kibana-ansi/index.js","subPath":"index.js"},{"name":"kibana-ansi-type","mountPath":"/usr/share/kibana/installedPlugins/kibana-ansi/public/ansi.js","subPath":"ansi.js"},{"name":"kibana-ansi-package","mountPath":"/usr/share/kibana/installedPlugins/kibana-ansi/package.json","subPath":"package.json"}]}]}}}}'
