Variables

• job_name (string) - The name to use as the job name which overrides using the pack name.
• region (string) - The region where jobs will be deployed.
• datacenters (list of strings) - A list of datacenters in the region which are eligible for task placement.
• namespace (string) - The namespace where the job should be placed.
• constraints (string) - Constraints to apply to the entire job.
• image_name (string) - The docker image name.
• image_tag (string) - The docker image tag.
• task_resources (object, number number) Resources used by Kibana task
• register_consul_service (bool) - If you want to register a consul service for the job
• consul_service_name (string) - The consul service name for the Kibana application
• consul_service_tags (list of string) - The consul service name for the Kibana application
• config_volume_name (string) - The name of the configuration dedicated volume you want Kibana to use
• config_volume_type (string) - The type of the configuration dedicated volume you want Kibana to use
• kibana_keystore_name (string) - The name of the file to persist Kibana secure settings
• docker_kibana_env_vars (map of string) - Environment variables to pass to Docker container
• kibana_config_file_path (string) - Kibana configuration file path

Automated Setup and Persisted Configuration

You have two options:

• Environment variables way: If you pass the right environment variables to the pack, you can automatically setup Kibana. An example of the docker_kibana_env_vars to use is in the vars.nomad file.

• Configration file through volume: You can also mounth a volume to persist the configuration file that you can pass through the variable kibana_config_file_path. You have also to set the config_volume_name variable that allows you to mount the volume where you can save the configuration file. Also this in vars.nomad.

Pay attention that, if you pass environment variables to setup Kibana AND you use the configuration file volume, the docker environment variables have the precedence.

Persist the Kibana keystore

To persist your secure settings, use the kibana-keystore utility setting kibana_keystore_name variable.
