Caveats

This plugin currently only works with Chrome and Firefox. Internet Explorer is not supported.

Development

Start elasticsearch on your machine and run the following commands

git clone https://github.com/elastic/kibana
git checkout tags/v5.5.0
npm install
cd plugins
git clone git@github.com:stagemonitor/stagemonitor-kibana.git
cd stagemonitor-kibana
npm install
cd ../..
npm start

Access Kibana under https://localhost:5601 -> the lazy optimizations may take some minutes for the initial pageload.

Tests

In the tests folder, run the following command to run the tests on localhost:5601:

./gradlew test

If you are running the development instance you have to adjust the base url, as it will have a randomly generated suffix:

./gradlew test -Dgeb.build.baseUrlTest=https://localhost:5601/znr/
