Verifying Builds

Step 0 – Verify Release

Verify that the maven artifacts are the right version by inspecting the top level pom.xml and looking at the version.

Step 1 – Build Metron

cd incubator-metron/
mvn clean install

Verify that all tests are passing

Step 2 – Deploy metron as a single VM via vagrant and ansible

cd metron-deployment/vagrant/full-dev-platform
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
vagrant up

For a more complete set of instructions refer to:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/tree/master/metron-deployment and 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/tree/master/metron-deployment/vagrant/full-dev-platform

Verify metron is working:
- Check Ambari to make sure all the services are up by going to ambari in a browser at http://node1:8080

- Check the Monit service interface at http://node1:2812 (user/pass of admin/monit) and turn on the bro, snort, and yaf topologies
- Check Storm to make sure all the topologies are up
      From Ambari navigate to Storm -> Quick Links -> Storm UI
- Check that the enrichment topology has emitted some data (could take a few minutes to show
up in the Storm UI)
- Check indexes to make sure indexing is done correctly and data is visualized in Kibana in
a browser at http://node1:5000
- Check that some data is written into HDFS for at least one of the data sources
      Look in HDFS under /apps/metron/enrichment/indexed/yaf_doc|bro_doc|snort_doc
      This can be done from the browser by going to http://node:50070/explorer.html#/apps/metron/enrichment/indexed

Step 3 (optional) – Verify AWS Multi-Node Deploy with Ansible (NOTE: This will cost money to deploy AWS servers)
cd metron-deployment/amazon-ec2
./run.sh

For a more complete set of instructions refer to:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/tree/master/metron-deployment

To verify the working build go through the same verifications as in Step2, but on AWS.  Reference
playbook.yml for location of the services.
Ambari-master contains Ambari, web contains Kibana and sensors.
