Why I cannot connect to the metron rest/management UI / kafka ?

[#1]

I have installed the metron on a bare metal, centos7.

reference: Metron 0.4.0 with HDP 2.5 bare-metal install on Centos 7 with MariaDB for Metron REST

Now all of the service are start up in ambari UI.

but there are something wrong in the login page:

the metron rest: :browser can connect to this page, but it need username/password, i tried all the accounts, but failed to login.

management UI:browser can not connect to this page.

kafka: this address uses a port is typically used for purposes other than Web browsing. For security reasons, Firefox has cancelled the request

I am a new comer, can anyone give me some advices? how to find the problem?

THANK YOU!

besides, when I installed the metron with HDP, when I built the metron code build with HDP2.6.1(the lastest version),error occurs. I had to use the version HDP2.5.1 . Could there be a connection?

@bigdata smalldata

Hi, are you using HCP1.1.0.0 or HCP1.2.1.0 ?

BTW, you are right to use something in the range of HDP2.5.0 to HDP2.5.5. That should have no bearing on this problem. HDP2.6.x is not supported yet.

Thank you for your help~

I installed it with follow article:

Metron 0.4.0 with HDP 2.5 bare-metal install on Centos 7 with MariaDB for Metron REST

In the paper, there didn't relate to the HCP version.

The main process is including metron 0.4.0, ambari 2.4 , hdp 2.5 and so on.

Thank you~

I decide to try it one by one, install it with different HDP versions...

@bigdata smalldata

The source you used is outdated by now. Work is being done on new updated documentation.

HCP = Hortonworks Cybersecurity Package. You can download from HERE

It offers a complete package of mutually configured components which has many benefits over manually installing all separate components.

Thank you , I have found the installation guide of HCP.

Thank you for your guidance !

[#6]

Or I mast install the HCP? is it a required item?

i am a new student in this area, my purpose is to build a running environment of metron.

Hi @bigdata smalldata,

can you go to the Metron tab in ambari and check the following config details for Metron REST, and set these accordingly:

Metron JDBC Driver = org.h2.Driver
Metron JDBC password = root
Metron JDBC platform = h2
Metron JDBC URL = jdbc:h2:file:~/metrondb
Metron JDBC username = root
Active Spring profiles = dev<br>

Once the above are set, you can restart the REST and management UI services, after which you will be able to login to the management UI with the credentials admin/password.

Thank you for your answer!

this is my config:

Metron JDBC Driver: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Metron JDBC password: <DB PASSWORD> "metron"
Metron JDBC platform: mysql
Metron JDBC URL: jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/<DB NAME>。"metrondb"
Metron JDBC username: <DB USERNAME>。"metron"

You need to set Metron Rest to use DEBUG level logging to have a clue what is going wrong:

1. Create a file 'log4j.properties' at $METRON_HOME/config/ with contents below:

#   Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
#   you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
#   You may obtain a copy of the License at

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p [%c] - %m%n

Then, set Metron Rest to use this file, in '/etc/init.d/metron-rest '

change this line:

DAEMON="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java $METRON_JVMFLAGS org.apache.metron.rest.MetronRestApplication $METRON_SPRING_OPTIONS"

into

DAEMON="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -Dlog4j.configuration=file:$METRON_HOME/config/log4j.properties $METRON_JVMFLAGS org.apache.metron.rest.MetronRestApplication $METRON_SPRING_OPTIONS"

After restarting the metron-rest daemon, have a look at the metron-rest log file at /var/log/metron/metron-rest.log
