Installing ELK using the RPM file

Perform the following steps to install the ELK RPM:

Procedure

  1. Locate the file discoverELKIntegration-nn.n.n-1.el8.x86_64.rpm, where:
    • nn.n.n is the version of Unica Discover. For example, 12.1.2.
  2. Run the following comand to install ELK: 
    yum install discoverELKIntegration-nn.n.n-1.el8.x86_64
    • nn.n.n is the version of Unica Discover. For example, 12.1.2.
    A log file, DC_ELKINTG_yyyy.mm.dd-hh.mm.ss.log, is generated, upon completion of nstallation, which tracks the RPM installation progress. In the DC_ELKINTG_yyyy.mm.dd-hh.mm.ss.log file, yyyy.mm.dd-hh.mm.ss is the date and time stamp.

    To debug any issues with installation, access the log files from the /tmp location.

    The following lines, in the DC_ELKINTG_yyyy.mm.dd-hh.mm.ss.log file, indicates successful completion of installation:

    In the DC_ELKINTG_yyyy.mm.dd-hh.mm.ss.log file, yyyy.mm.dd-hh.mm.ss is the date and time stamp.

  3. After completing the installation, restart the elastic search with the following command: 
    systemctl restart elasticsearch
    Other commands include:
    • systemctl stop elasticsearch: Stopping elastic search.
    • systemctl start elasticsearch: Stopping elastic search.
    • systemctl status elasticsearch: Viewing the status of elastic search.
  4. To verify if ELK is up and running, open the URL <server-ip-address>:5601/app/discover#. This loads the default Kibana dashboards.
