How to set up a virtual machine with Elasticsearch and Kibana using Vagrant. See https://gist.github.com/hideojoho/a7f8fa864a250380b0e78c5fcbc4d52e for 2019 version.

Requirements

• At least 6-8GB of RAM (of those 4GB will be used for a virtual machine)
• About 1GB of diskspace
• 1-2 hours of time (depends on your network speed)

Environments

• MacOSX 10.11.6
• VirtualBox 5.1.10
• Vagrant 1.8.7

Download & Install

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant

Install Vagrant plugins

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

Fix a bug in Vagrant 1.8.7

$ sudo rm /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/curl

Install a new box (CentOS7)

The following commands download a Vagrant box for CentOS 7 from their server. It takes time.

$ vagrant box add centos/7
Select 2 (VirtualBox)
$ mkdir CentOS7; cd CentOS7
$ vagrant init centos-VAGRANTSLASH-7
$ mv Vagrantfile Vagrantfile.orig

Download the files and save them to CentOS7

• Vagrantfile
• Vagrant_provision.sh

Start a VM

The following command installs CentOS 7 to your virtual machine along with Java, Elasticsearch, and Kibana. It takes time.

$ vagrant up

Go to Kibana

• Visit http://192.168.33.10:5601/
• Status check http://192.168.33.10:5601/status/

SSH to VM (if needed)

$ sudo vi /etc/ssh/ssh_config
#   SendEnv LANG LC_*
$ vagrant ssh
