Install Exhibitor

This folder contains a script for installing Exhibitor, a supervisor system for ZooKeeper that provides a number of features, including starting the ZooKeeper process, restarting the process if it fails, performing periodic cleanup of ZooKeeper's log directory, and offering a GUI for viewing ZooKeeper nodes

This script has been tested on the following operating systems:

  • Amazon Linux
  • Ubuntu

There is a good chance it will work on Debian, CentOS, and RHEL as well, but our automated testing for this module does not cover these other distros at the moment.

Quick start​

The easiest way to use this module is with the Gruntwork Installer:

gruntwork-install \
  --module-name "install-exhibitor" \
  --repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terraform-aws-zookeeper" \
  --tag "v0.0.4"

We recommend running this module, along with install-zookeeper, as part of a Packer template to create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) (see the zookeeper-ami example for a fully-working sample code). You can then deploy the AMI using the zookeeper-cluster module (see the zookeeper-cluster example for fully-working sample code).

Command line Arguments​

The install-exhibitor module accepts the following arguments, all optional:

  • --version: The version of Exhibitor to install.
  • --install-dir: The directory where to install Exhibitor. Default: /opt/exhibitor.
  • --user: The user who will be set as the owner of --install-dir. Default: zookeeper.

If you're using gruntwork-install to run this module, you can pass these arguments using --module-param arguments. Example:

gruntwork-install \
  --module-name "install-exhibitor" \
  --repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terraform-aws-zookeeper" \
  --tag "v0.0.4" \
  --module-param "version=1.5.6"
