You are Impatient !¶
Tip
if you have 20 minutes and are not familiar yet with the punch then take the time to go through the other getting started chapter. If you have only 2 minutes, read this chapter.
Start the channelctl
command:
channelctl
You have now a terminal with auto-completion. Check the status of your punch:
channelctl:mytenant> status
This lists all the channels installed on yor standalone. Each channel is a complete punch application. Starts one that is a typical ELK-like example :
channelctl:mytenant> start --channel sourcefire
A punch application called a punchline is now running and ready to receive logs. Inject some logs using the punch injector tool. It will generate sourcefire logs and send them to your punchline.
punchplatform-log-injector.sh -c $PUNCHPLATFORM_CONF_DIR/resources/injectors/mytenant/sourcefire_injector.json
Check your Kibana, you have your logs. To stop your channel :
channelctl stop
Congratulation ! You just managed a complete ELK-like production ready punch !
