Recently, I had a question from a commenter on my blog post on installing ELK stack on Ubuntu/Debian. The question was how to serve kibana 3 via a server like jboss. Kibana 3 is essentially (more or less) static content. It serves html and content changes based on it's querying elasticsearch via javascript. I couldn't find any blog with all the instructions in one page for serving static content via Jboss. So here it is:
These instructions are for JBoss Application Server 7:
Install JBoss
If you already have JBoss installed then you can skip this step.
Download and extract JBoss:
cd /tmp wget http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.1/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.tar.gz tar -xvf jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.tar.gz
Move extracted JBoss to /usr/local/share
mv /tmp/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final /usr/local/share/jboss-7.1.1
Deploying static content to JBoss:
- Create a directory called
yourwebapp.warinside/usr/local/share/jboss/standalone/deployments - Create a file name
yourwebapp.war.dodeployin/usr/local/share/jboss/standalone/deployments - Create a directory
WEB-INFinsideyourwebapp.war - Create a file
web.xmlwith contents shown below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">
</web-app>
- Start JBoss
- Browse to your server's ipaddress:8080/yourwebapp
An example of deploying static content to JBoss:
I am demonstrating static content deployment to JBoss with kibana 3 content.
cd /usr/local/share/jboss-7.1.1/standalone/deployments/ sudo mkdir -p kibana.war/WEB-INF sudo cp -r /tmp/kibana-3.1.2/* kibana.war sudo touch kibana.war.dodeploy
Create web.xml with contents shown below: vi kibana.war/WEB-INF/web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">
</web-app>
Start JBoss:
cd /usr/local/share/jboss ./bin/standalone.sh -Djboss.bind.address=192.168.1.8 -Djboss.bind.address.management=192.168.1.8
Browse to: http://192.168.1.8:8080/kibana
Please replace 192.168.1.8 with your server's ip address
