Kubernetes Cloud Plugin for Elasticsearch:

Build Status

The Kubernetes Cloud plugin allows to use Kubernetes API for the unicast discovery mechanism.

Installation

elasticsearch-plugin install io.fabric8:elasticsearch-cloud-kubernetes:5.1.1

Versions available

As of 2.0.0, each released version of this plugin is compatible with the equal version of Elasticsearch, e.g. 2.2.0 of this plugin is compatible with 2.2.0 of Elasticsearch.

Older versions:

  • 1.3.x for Elasticsearch 1.6 and 1.7

Kubernetes Pod Discovery

Kubernetes Pod discovery allows to use the kubernetes APIs to perform automatic discovery. Here is a simple sample configuration:

cloud:
  kubernetes:
    service: ${SERVICE}
    namespace: ${NAMESPACE}
discovery:
  type: kubernetes

path:
  data: /data/data
  logs: /data/log
  plugins: /data/plugins
  work: /data/work

Kubernetes auth

The preferred way to authenticate to Kubernetes is to use service accounts. This is fully supported by this Elasticsearch Kubernetes plugin as it uses the Fabric8 Kubernetes API client.

As an example, to create a service account do something like:

cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: elasticsearch
EOF

This creates a service account called elasticsearch. To use this service account, you need to add the service account to your pod spec or your replication controller pod template spec like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: elasticsearch
  <SNIP>
spec:
  serviceAccountName: elasticsearch
  <SNIP>

This will mount the service account token at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/servicaccount/token & will be automatically read by the fabric8 kubernetes client when the request is made to the API server.

Kubernetes example

In this example, we're going to use a headless service to look up the Elasticsearch cluster nodes to join.

The following manifest uses 3 replication controllers to created Elasticsearch pods in 3 different modes:

  • master
  • data
  • client

We use 2 services as well:

  • One to target the client pods so that all requests to the cluster go through the client nodes
  • A headless service to list all cluster endpoints managed by all 3 RCs.
