Quasar is Hubble's reporting system; a key component in visualizing your data. Quasar gathers the data captured by Nova, Nebula and Pulsar and delivers it directly to your logging or SIM/SEM system. Create dashboards, alerts and correlations all using the SIM/SEM system you already have!
Note: dashboards not included :)
Each of the four HubbleStack components have been packaged for use with Salt's Package Manager (SPM). Note that all SPM installation commands should be done on the Salt Master.
Salt's Package Manager (SPM) installs files into /srv/spm/{salt,pillar}. Ensure that this path is defined in your Salt Master's file_roots:
file_roots:
- /srv/salt
- /srv/spm/saltNote: Remember to restart the Salt Master after making this change to the configuration.
Installation is as easy as downloading and installing a package. (Note: in future releases you'll be able to subscribe directly to our HubbleStack SPM repo for updates and bugfixes!)
wget https://spm.hubblestack.io/2016.7.0_RC1/hubblestack_quasar-2016.7.0_RC1-1.spm
spm local install hubblestack_quasar-2016.7.0_RC1-1.spmYou should now be able to sync the new modules to your minion(s) using the sync_returners Salt utility:
salt \* saltutil.sync_returnersOnce these modules are synced you'll be ready to begin reporting data and events.
Copy everything from <hubblestack-quasar/_returners/> into your _returners/ directory in your Salt
fileserver (whether roots or gitfs) and sync it to the minion(s).
git clone https://github.com/hubblestack/quasar.git hubblestack-quasar.git
cd hubblestack-quasar.git
cp _returners/*.py /srv/salt/_returners/
salt \* saltutil.sync_returnersEach Quasar module has different requirements and settings. Please see your preferred module's documentation.
