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.

Verify that the release bits are the signed properly by running:

gpg --verify ./apache-metron-$VERSION-incubating.tar.gz.asc apache-metron-$VERSION-incubating.tar.gz

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.
