=== GCE Cloud Plugin
|
|
|
|
The Google Compute Engine Cloud plugin uses the GCE API for unicast discovery.
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-install]]
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== Installation
|
|
|
|
This plugin can be installed using the plugin manager:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
sudo bin/plugin install cloud-gce
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The plugin must be installed on every node in the cluster, and each node must
|
|
be restarted after installation.
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-remove]]
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== Removal
|
|
|
|
The plugin can be removed with the following command:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------

|
|
==== GCE Virtual Machine Discovery
|
|
|
|
Google Compute Engine VM discovery allows to use the google APIs to perform automatic discovery (similar to multicast
|
|
in non hostile multicast environments). Here is a simple sample configuration:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
cloud:
|
|
gce:
|
|
project_id: <your-google-project-id>
|
|
zone: <your-zone>
|
|
discovery:
|
|
type: gce
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-short]]
|
|
===== How to start (short story)
|
|
|
|
* Create Google Compute Engine instance (with compute rw permissions)
|
|
* Install Elasticsearch
|
|
* Install Google Compute Engine Cloud plugin
|
|
* Modify `elasticsearch.yml` file
|
|
* Start Elasticsearch
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-long]]
|
|
==== Setting up GCE Discovery
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-long-prerequisites]]
|
|
===== Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Before starting, you need:
|
|
|
|
* Your project ID, e.g. `es-cloud`. Get it from https://code.google.com/apis/console/[Google API Console].
|
|
* To install https://developers.google.com/cloud/sdk/[Google Cloud SDK]
|
|
|
|
If you did not set it yet, you can define your default project you will work on:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
gcloud config set project es-cloud
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-long-login]]
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already, login to Google Cloud
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
gcloud auth login
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This will open your browser. You will be asked to sign-in to a Google account and
|
|
authorize access to the Google Cloud SDK.
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-long-first-instance]]
|
|
===== Creating your first instance
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
gcloud compute instances create myesnode1 \
|
|
--zone <your-zone> \
|
|
--scopes compute-rw
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When done, a report like this one should appears:
|
|
|
|
[source,text]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/es-cloud-1070/zones/us-central1-f/instances/myesnode1].
|
|
NAME ZONE MACHINE_TYPE PREEMPTIBLE INTERNAL_IP EXTERNAL_IP STATUS
|
|
myesnode1 us-central1-f n1-standard-1 10.240.133.54 104.197.94.25 RUNNING
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can now connect to your instance:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
# Connect using google cloud SDK
|
|
gcloud compute ssh myesnode1 --zone europe-west1-a
|
|
|
|
# Or using SSH with external IP address
|
|
ssh -i ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine 192.158.29.199
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
.Service Account Permissions
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
It's important when creating an instance that the correct permissions are set. At a minimum, you must ensure you have:
|
|
|
|
[source,text]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
scopes=compute-rw
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Failing to set this will result in unauthorized messages when starting Elasticsearch.
|
|
See [Machine Permissions](#machine-permissions).
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once connected, install Elasticsearch:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
|
|
# Download Elasticsearch
|
|
wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-2.0.0.deb
|
|
|
|
# Prepare Java installation
|
|
sudo apt-get install java8-runtime-headless
|
|
|
|
# Prepare Elasticsearch installation
|
|
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-2.0.0.deb
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-long-install-plugin]]
|
|
===== Install elasticsearch cloud gce plugin
|
|
|
|
Install the plugin:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
# Use Plugin Manager to install it
|
|
sudo bin/plugin install cloud-gce
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Open the `elasticsearch.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
sudo vi /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
And add the following lines:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
cloud:
|
|
gce:
|
|
project_id: es-cloud
|
|
zone: europe-west1-a
|
|
discovery:
|
|
type: gce
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start elasticsearch:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If anything goes wrong, you should check logs:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
tail -f /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If needed, you can change log level to `TRACE` by opening `logging.yml`:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
sudo vi /etc/elasticsearch/logging.yml
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
and adding the following line:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
# discovery
|
|
discovery.gce: TRACE
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-cloning]]
|
|
==== Cloning your existing machine
|
|
|
|
In order to build a cluster on many nodes, you can clone your configured instance to new nodes.
|
|
You won't have to reinstall everything!
|
|
|
|
First create an image of your running instance and upload it to Google Cloud Storage:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
# Create an image of yur current instance
|
|
sudo /usr/bin/gcimagebundle -d /dev/sda -o /tmp/
|
|
|
|
# An image has been created in `/tmp` directory:
|
|
ls /tmp
|
|
e4686d7f5bf904a924ae0cfeb58d0827c6d5b966.image.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
# Upload your image to Google Cloud Storage:
|
|
# Create a bucket to hold your image, let's say `esimage`:
|
|
gsutil mb gs://esimage
|
|
|
|
# Copy your image to this bucket:
|
|
gsutil cp /tmp/e4686d7f5bf904a924ae0cfeb58d0827c6d5b966.image.tar.gz gs://esimage
|
|
|
|
# Then add your image to images collection:
|
|
gcloud compute images create elasticsearch-2-0-0 --source-uri gs://esimage/e4686d7f5bf904a924ae0cfeb58d0827c6d5b966.image.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
# If the previous command did not work for you, logout from your instance
|
|
# and launch the same command from your local machine.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-start-new-instances]]
|
|
===== Start new instances
|
|
|
|
As you have now an image, you can create as many instances as you need:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
# Just change node name (here myesnode2)
|
|
gcloud compute instances create myesnode2 --image elasticsearch-2-0-0 --zone europe-west1-a
|
|
|
|
# If you want to provide all details directly, you can use:
|
|
gcloud compute instances create myesnode2 --image=elasticsearch-2-0-0 \
|
|
--zone europe-west1-a --machine-type f1-micro --scopes=compute-rw
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-remove-instance]]
|
|
===== Remove an instance (aka shut it down)
|
|
|
|
You can use https://cloud.google.com/console[Google Cloud Console] or CLI to manage your instances:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
# Stopping and removing instances
|
|
gcloud compute instances delete myesnode1 myesnode2 \
|
|
--zone=europe-west1-a
|
|
|
|
# Consider removing disk as well if you don't need them anymore
|
|
gcloud compute disks deleted boot-myesnode1 boot-myesnode2 \
|
|
--zone=europe-west1-a
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-zones]]
|
|
==== Using GCE zones
|
|
|
|
`cloud.gce.zone` helps to retrieve instances running in a given zone. It should be one of the
|
|
https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/zones#available[GCE supported zones].
|
|
|
|
The GCE discovery can support multi zones although you need to be aware of network latency between zones.
|
|
To enable discovery across more than one zone, just enter add your zone list to `cloud.gce.zone` setting:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
cloud:
|
|
gce:
|
|
project_id: <your-google-project-id>
|
|
zone: ["<your-zone1>", "<your-zone2>"]
|
|
discovery:
|
|
type: gce
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-tags]]
|
|
==== Filtering by tags
|
|
|
|
The GCE discovery can also filter machines to include in the cluster based on tags using `discovery.gce.tags` settings.
|
|
For example, setting `discovery.gce.tags` to `dev` will only filter instances having a tag set to `dev`. Several tags
|
|
set will require all of those tags to be set for the instance to be included.
|
|
|
|
One practical use for tag filtering is when an GCE cluster contains many nodes that are not running
|
|
elasticsearch. In this case (particularly with high ping_timeout values) there is a risk that a new node's discovery
|
|
phase will end before it has found the cluster (which will result in it declaring itself master of a new cluster
|
|
with the same name - highly undesirable). Adding tag on elasticsearch GCE nodes and then filtering by that
|
|
tag will resolve this issue.
|
|
|
|
Add your tag when building the new instance:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
gcloud compute instances create myesnode1 --project=es-cloud \
|
|
--scopes=compute-rw \
|
|
--tags=elasticsearch,dev
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Then, define it in `elasticsearch.yml`:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
cloud:
|
|
gce:
|
|
project_id: es-cloud
|
|
zone: europe-west1-a
|
|
discovery:
|
|
type: gce
|
|
gce:
|
|
tags: elasticsearch, dev
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-port]]
|
|
==== Changing default transport port
|
|
|
|
By default, elasticsearch GCE plugin assumes that you run elasticsearch on 9300 default port.
|
|
But you can specify the port value elasticsearch is meant to use using google compute engine metadata `es_port`:
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-port-create]]
|
|
===== When creating instance
|
|
|
|
Add `--metadata es_port=9301` option:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
# when creating first instance
|
|
gcloud compute instances create myesnode1 \
|
|
--scopes=compute-rw,storage-full \
|
|
--metadata es_port=9301
|
|
|
|
# when creating an instance from an image
|
|
gcloud compute instances create myesnode2 --image=elasticsearch-1-0-0-RC1 \
|
|
--zone europe-west1-a --machine-type f1-micro --scopes=compute-rw \
|
|
--metadata es_port=9301
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-port-run]]
|
|
===== On a running instance
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
gcloud compute instances add-metadata myesnode1 \
|
|
--zone europe-west1-a \
|
|
--metadata es_port=9301
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|

|
==== GCE Tips
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-tips-projectid]]
|
|
===== Store project id locally
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to repeat the project id each time, you can save it in the local gcloud config
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
gcloud config set project es-cloud
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-tips-permissions]]
|
|
===== Machine Permissions
|
|
|
|
If you have created a machine without the correct permissions, you will see `403 unauthorized` error messages. The only
|
|
way to alter these permissions is to delete the instance (NOT THE DISK). Then create another with the correct permissions.
|
|
|
|
Creating machines with gcloud::
|
|
+
|
|

|
|
--
|
|
|
|
Creating with knife google::
|
|
+
|
|

|
|
Set the service account scopes when creating the machine:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
knife google server create www1 \
|
|
-m n1-standard-1 \
|
|
-I debian-8 \
|
|
-Z us-central1-a \
|
|
-i ~/.ssh/id_rsa \
|
|
-x jdoe \
|
|
--gce-service-account-scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute.full_control
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|

|
|
[[cloud-gce-usage-discovery-testing]]
|
|
==== Testing GCE
|
|
|
|
Integrations tests in this plugin require working GCE configuration and
|
|
therefore disabled by default. To enable tests prepare a config file
|
|
elasticsearch.yml with the following content:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
cloud:
|
|
gce:
|
|
project_id: es-cloud
|
|
zone: europe-west1-a
|
|
discovery:
|
|
type: gce
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Replaces `project_id` and `zone` with your settings.
|
|
|
|
To run test:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
mvn -Dtests.gce=true -Dtests.config=/path/to/config/file/elasticsearch.yml clean test
|
|
