This is funny/sad, because our Vagrant scripts, that you assert you cannot use, were intended to meet this need. You can’t get much simpler than “vagrant up” to install a full-blown single-node Metron.

There are guides in the works for centos 7 manual setup with ambari in the works right now. Centos 7 is not supported by the full ansible setup at this time.

One question about where I could find HDP 2.5.0 installation guideline for Ubuntu. Finally, if you as community and developers of Metron use CentOS 7, maybe it would be better if I adapt myself to that distribution. So, is there any ContOS 7 VM ready that I could download to test Metron 0.3.1 and the MaaS option? Maybe it would be faster than debug the installation in Ubuntu. Thank you.

Do you know if it does work also with Ubuntu 16.04? Just for curiosity, the post is quite recent but I do not understand the reason to use a distribution quite old. Finally, I read in that guide that they do not use NIFI as source to record network packet. Is there any guide to use NIFI with Metron?

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. Simone Il 8 giugno 2017 alle 20.40 Matt Foley <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> ha scritto: Hi Simone, If I recall your previous email, you said you want to use an Ubuntu VM. Can you use Centos 6 or 7 instead? The reason I ask is that for Centos there is an “Ambari manual install” procedure, which does not require Docker, Vagrant, or Ansible on the server. In this scenario you just install Docker on your development machine (I use a Mac), build the Metron RPMs and Ambari MPack there, scp them to the server, and proceed with Ambari install. This is in fact my main lab test method. But with Ubuntu, I’m not aware of a documented procedure for Ambari manual install, only install with Ansible playbooks combined with a Docker-based build. You’d have to figure out for yourself how to generate an ‘apt’ package, etc., instead. Perhaps other community members with more Ubuntu experience could assist here. Regarding 0.4.0 vs 0.3.1: At this point, 0.3.1 is several months old, from Feb 23. There have been about 140 commits since then, including both bug fixes and feature developments. However, I don’t think there have been major changes in the MaaS feature.

Currently, I would start installing Metron in a single VM to do my tests. I don't know which are the differences between 0.3.1 and 0.4.0. Unfortunately for me, my CPU does not support virtualization. That means that I cannot use Docker. The only workaround that I found is to use AWS directly but for me that I have never used Mentor it could be a so big step... So the question is, do I lose many things if I start with Mentor 0.3.1 into a single VM without Docker? Best regards, Simone
