METRON-645 Unable to Start Fastcapa Test Environment
The Fastcapa Test Environment could not be started. There were three
problems that needed addressed.
1. The version of DPDK being used (2.2.0) does not work with newer versions
of the Linux kernel. See [this
thread](http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-June/040968.html) for more
information. Updating to the latest DPDK release, 16.11 which is N+3 from
2.2.0, resolved this problem.
2. The `install_pcap_replay` variable was not defined. This variable is
required and was added sometime after the creation of the Fastcapa test
environment.
3. In the Fastcapa Ansible deployment scripts, I moved all tasks into a
separate `tasks` block. Previously, Ansible was more forgiving and allowed
tasks to be embedded in the `roles` block.
Testing
The Ansible deployment includes a complete validation process at the tail
end of deployment. If the process completes successfully, then you know that
it is working. Look for the message "Successfully received a Kafka message
from fastcapa!" The message, or absence thereof, is hard to miss.
```
cd incubator-metron/metron-deployment/vagrant/fastcapa-test-platform
vagrant up
