WEBVTT 00:00.270 --> 00:00.720 OK. 00:00.930 --> 00:03.350 Hello, and welcome to my course on Safana. 00:03.660 --> 00:07.920 Now data can come from many different places even more than you can imagine. 00:08.160 --> 00:14.220 Mega-fauna provides a way for you to visualize that data through graphs and some level of reporting 00:14.220 --> 00:14.720 and alerting. 00:14.880 --> 00:16.290 So we need to install Bafana. 00:16.410 --> 00:18.000 And I'll show you how to do that. 00:18.240 --> 00:20.760 Now, Bafana doesn't exist by itself. 00:20.820 --> 00:24.130 It needs to extract data from all kinds of data sources. 00:24.150 --> 00:28.500 There are thousands of them, and I'll provide you instructions on some of the most popular. 00:28.620 --> 00:35.850 For example, my skill Loki, Prometheus, Influx TV, Xbox, ElasticSearch, and we'll use those data 00:35.850 --> 00:42.690 sources to retrieve the data in a time series format from the various services that they are written 00:42.690 --> 00:43.230 to query. 00:43.290 --> 00:47.760 For example, my squirrel data can be returned in all the time series or tabular. 00:47.760 --> 00:51.360 Loki Pronto can work together to read log files from a server. 00:51.360 --> 00:56.970 Prometheus has many kinds of exporters for all kinds of other services in flux to be very similar with 00:56.970 --> 01:01.680 Xbox and ElasticSearch, so I will experiment with all kinds of data sources which are all conceptually 01:01.680 --> 01:06.900 different from each other so that you have a very good overview of how you might approach collecting 01:06.900 --> 01:09.990 data from the thousands of other available data sources out there. 01:10.340 --> 01:14.220 OK, but anyway, at the beginning, we'll look at the test data source, which means we won't need 01:14.220 --> 01:19.140 to install anything extra other than initial groups on a server install, and we can start experimenting 01:19.140 --> 01:23.250 with the user interface and the different kinds of visualizations available for us. 01:23.430 --> 01:29.130 The default install now predominantly through the course, I'll be using Ubuntu Altius servers because 01:29.130 --> 01:34.020 it's very easy for beginners to understand and provide all the commands in my accompanying website. 01:34.050 --> 01:40.060 So, for example, in the resources alongside each video, there will be links pointing to various pages 01:40.060 --> 01:41.250 in my documentation. 01:41.280 --> 01:46.350 For example, install prompts tell binary install as a service for the commands are written there so 01:46.350 --> 01:49.740 that you can just copy and paste into your server. 01:50.750 --> 01:53.210 So that you can get right on with it without much delay. 01:53.480 --> 01:58.820 OK, so during the course, I recommend copying what I do by using the same versions of the software, 01:58.820 --> 02:02.330 the same operating systems each time so that you consider working for yourself. 02:02.420 --> 02:07.130 Once you have a familiarity with Safana and all the various data sources available to you, you will 02:07.130 --> 02:10.970 then be able to apply your knowledge to your more bespoke situations. 02:11.150 --> 02:15.440 So remember, Kafala is a tool to help you visualize data from other systems. 02:15.480 --> 02:21.950 It doesn't exist by itself, but you need to develop that skill in order to reverse engineer other systems, 02:21.950 --> 02:26.630 no matter what they are, and understand how to get data from that system into the fire so that you 02:26.630 --> 02:27.400 can visualize it. 02:27.410 --> 02:30.520 Gravano, create alerts or do further analysis. 02:30.530 --> 02:33.650 So hopefully at the end of the course, you will have developed those skills. 02:33.860 --> 02:36.470 OK, so thanks for taking part of my course, and let's get started.
