Environment setup

• OS
  Windows 10/x64

• Python installation
  Miniconda installation with conda 4.5.1 + Python 3.6.4

• ElasticSearch
  Installation and initialization of ElasticSearch is quite simple.

  • Download and unzip Elasticsearch to a folder of your choice.
  • Run bin/elasticsearch (or bin\elasticsearch.bat on Windows).

  Elasticsearch instance should be running at http://localhost:9200 in your browser if you run with default configuration.

  Keep the terminal open where elastic search is running to be able to keep the instance running.
  You could also use nohup mode to run the instance in the background.

"version" : {
    "number" : "6.3.1",
    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "zip",
    "build_hash" : "eb782d0",
    "build_date" : "2018-06-29T21:59:26.107521Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "7.3.1",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
  }

• Kibana
  Installation and initialization is similar to that of Elasticsearch:

  • Download and unzip Kibana.
  • Open config / Kibana.yml in an editor.
  • Set elasticsearch.url to point at your Elasticsearch instance.
  • Change the directory to Kibana folder.
  • Run bin/Kibana (or bin\Kibana.bat on Windows)

  Kibana instance should be running at http://localhost:5601 in your browser if you run with default configuration.

  Keep the terminal open where Kibana was run to be able to keep the instance running.
  You could also use nohup mode to run the instance in the background.
