How to run from sources

Every Wazuh Indexer repository includes one or more Gradle projects with predefined tasks to run and build the source code.

In this case, to run a Gradle project from source code, run the ./gradlew run command.

For Wazuh Indexer, additional plugins may be installed by passing the -PinstalledPlugins flag:

./gradlew run -PinstalledPlugins="['plugin1', 'plugin2']"

The ./gradlew run command will build and start the project, writing its log above Gradle's status message. A lot of stuff is logged on startup, specifically these lines tell you that OpenSearch is ready.

[2020-05-29T14:50:35,167][INFO ][o.e.h.AbstractHttpServerTransport] [runTask-0] publish_address {127.0.0.1:9200}, bound_addresses {[::1]:9200}, {127.0.0.1:9200}
[2020-05-29T14:50:35,169][INFO ][o.e.n.Node               ] [runTask-0] started

It's typically easier to wait until the console stops scrolling, and then run curl in another window to check if OpenSearch instance is running.

curl localhost:9200

}

Use -Dtests.opensearch. to pass additional settings to the running instance. For example, to enable OpenSearch to listen on an external IP address, pass -Dtests.opensearch.http.host. Make sure your firewall or security policy allows external connections for this to work.

./gradlew run -Dtests.opensearch.http.host=0.0.0.0
