Hello Matt, thanks for your email.
Yes, I said that I would use an Ubuntu VM to install Metron. I'm old school and I'm not so familiar with Docker. Moreover, it seems that my CPU (MacBook) does not support virtualization. On the other hand, I don't know if a VM with CentOS 7 on my machine could run Docker. I mean due to the same problem of virtualization on the host CPU. Let assume that VM CentOS 7 support Docker, I'm not familiar with that distribution (I used several but never CentOS). Do you have rpm packages for the tools needed for Metron? I would use the 0.4.0 version, but after several day I'm a bit frustrated because I stil didn't completely understand the tools chain to run Metron. I asked also into the dev-mailing list. My idea was to install NIFI as probe to catch network packets and fill in those into Metron. Then, I still didn't understand where I should deploy ML model into Metron to run it as a service. And finally, how to moidfy the ML to include it into a RESTful app. I'm sorry for the long list of questions/issues. I knwo that it is not so elegant into a mailing list but I'm a step from give up Metron. Even if I know that it would be a mistake. Thanks again if you could give some indications.
