Backend Server For Kibana 4

This is the backend server for Kibana 4. It's written in Ruby using Sinatra and the Puma rack server. It's written to be compatible with JRuby and distributed as a jar file.

Requirements

• Serve Static Files for Kibana
• Proxy requests to Elasticsearch
• Distributable an executable jar
• Platform for developing API endpoints for Kibana

Configuration

Coming Soon...

Project Layout

• bin - Where the kibana executable lives. This is the entry point for the Jar file
• config - Configuration files for warble, puma and the rack server
• lib - Where Kibana specific ruby libraries live
• public - This is where the static assets go
• routes - This is where the route controllers go
• Gemfile - This is the Gemfile for Bundler. Any dependencies need to be listed in here.
• Gemfile.lock - Bundler creates a lock file for the gem versions
• Rakefile - This is where the rake tasks go
• README.md - You're looking at it :D

Adding New Routes to the Project

Create a route class in routes

require "rotues/base"

module Kibana
  module Routes
    class MyNewRoute < Base

      get '/my-route/' do
        json :something => 'fancy'
      end

    end
  end
end

Require the route in lib/app at the top of the file

require "routes/home"
require "routes/api"
require "routes/my_new_route"

Now add the route to the class

    # Rack middleware goes here
    use Rack::ReverseProxy do
      reverse_proxy /^\/elasticsearch(.*)$/, 'http://localhost:9200$1'
    end

    # Routes go here
    use Routes::Home
    use Routes::Api
    use Routes::MyNewRoute
  end
end
