+# Metron REST and Configuration UI
+
+This UI exposes and aids in sensor configuration.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* A running Metron cluster
+* A running instance of MySQL
+* Java 8 installed
+
+## Installation
+1. Package the Application with Maven:
+ ```
+ mvn clean package
+ ```
+
+1. Untar the archive in the target directory. The directory structure
will look like:
+ ```
+ bin
+ start.sh
+ lib
+ metron-rest-version.jar
+ ```
+
+1. Install Hibernate by downloading version 5.0.11.Final from
(http://hibernate.org/orm/downloads/). Unpack the archive and set the
HIBERNATE_HOME environment variable to the absolute path of the top level
directory.
+ ```
+ export HIBERNATE_HOME=/path/to/hibernate-release-5.0.11.Final
+ ```
+
+1. Install the MySQL client by downloading version 5.1.40 from
(https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/). Unpack the archive and set the
MYSQL_CLIENT_HOME environment variable to the absolute path of the top level
directory.
+ ```
+ export MYSQL_CLIENT_HOME=/path/to/mysql-connector-java-5.1.40
+ ```
+
+1. Create a MySQL user for the Config UI
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/adding-users.html).
+
+1. Create a Config UI database in MySQL with this command:
+ ```
+ CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS metronrest
+ ```
+
+1. Create an `application.yml` file with the contents of
[application-docker.yml](src/main/resources/application-docker.yml).
Substitute the appropriate Metron service urls (Kafka, Zookeeper, Storm, etc)
in properties containing `${docker.host.address}` and update the
`spring.datasource.username` and `spring.datasource.password` properties using
the MySQL credentials from step 4.
+
+1. Start the UI with this command:
+ ```
+ ./bin/start.sh /path/to/application.yml
+ ```

Can we get a section laying out and documenting all of the API endpoints
for these services, split by service?
