TROUBLESHOOT swiss-army knife container image

I created a container image to help me troubleshoot issues for both docker and kubernetes. Many container images come very slim without the default OS tools so when you are troubleshooting it makes it very hard. With this image you can easily deploy this container onto the same network as your containers/pods or even as a sidecar container or even map the host network to troubleshoot host network issues. github link: https://github.com/jlim0930/troubleshoot docker hub link: https://hub.docker.com/r/jlim0930/troubleshoot TROUBLESHOOT Container to help troubleshoot issues for docker & kubernetes environments This container image was created to help troubleshoot various network/storage/OS issues inside of… Continue Reading

Updated deploy-elastic script – version 8

Last update to version 7 is listed here The original post for the deploy-elastic.sh script is here. Changes: fully tested from 6.x-8.2(will most likely work with future 8.x versions) decoupled non stack modes from checking versions so that you can add the secondary components like monitoring/fleet/apm/enterprise-search using different version than the stack version. Just install the stack first then install the secondary components with different versions. Secondary versions can not be higher than the stack version. This will allow you to test using different versions fleet setting is now auto-populated. The script will gather the machines external IP and set… Continue Reading

ECE(elastic cloud enterprise) snapshot repository using object storage(minio) with self-signed TLS

Just FYI this is a complete rewrite of the previous article. It should be better organized and more closely align with real world situations. We will stand up a minio server with self-signed or internally signed SSL certificate that is not publicly trusted. This guide will work with any s3 compliant object storage not just minio. The certificate that we will create will be for internal use but you can and should create a more secure certificate to be used in your environment. If you have s3 compliant object storage with publicly trusted signed SSL certificate then all you would… Continue Reading

Generate test data using elastic’s makelogs

Updated 5/11/2023 When I am testing for various issues I find that I need to create some test data. The built in sample data is great but sometimes you need to keep ingesting data or ingest some older data to reproduce issues. I found this repo and it was the answers to my issue. I did not want to install this and wanted to containerize it so that I can leave my system clean yet be able to use this and re-use it again. makelogs runs fine as it is however if your ES endpoint is secured with TLS and… Continue Reading
