##Setup

Folder Structure

The scripts provided in the root directory of this project expect a certain directory layout as follows

• root
  • conf
  • lib
    • blueflood
    • cassandra
  • src
    • ....

Cassandra

1. Download and extract Cassandra to a directory of your choice.
2. Make sure that the following environment variables are set.
   • JAVA_HOME (Java7 JRE location)
   • CASSANDRA_HOME (To the directory you extracted the files to in step 1)
3. Modify your Cassandra config file %CASSANDRA_HOME%\cassandra\conf\cassandra.yaml as you like. I kept the defaults which will setup a storage location at %CASSANDRA_HOME%\cassandra\data
4. Open a cmd and run the %CASSANDRA_HOME%\bin\cassandra.bat file.
5. (Optional) You can verify that Cassandra is running, by trying to connect to the server. To do this run the %CASSANDRA_HOME%\bin\cassandra-cli.bat file.

Maven

1. Download and extract maven to directory of choice.
2. Make sure that the following environment variables are set.
   • JAVA_HOME (JRE location)
   • %JAVA_HOME%\bin set in PATH
   • M2_HOME (To the directory you extracted the files to in step 1)
   • M2 (%M2_HOME%\bin)
   • %M2% set in PATH

###Blueflood

1. Clone the Blueflood git repository. git clone git@github.com:rackerlabs/blueflood.git
2. Make sure that the following environment variables are set.
   • JAVA_HOME (Java7 JRE location)
   • BLUEFLOOD_HOME (To the directory you cloned to in step 1)
3. (Windows only) As of 9/12/2014 there are a few source modifications that need to be made to get the tests to pass on windows.
   • Edit %BLUEFLOOD_HOME%\blueflood-kafka\pom.xml and add an extra / at the end of file:// so that it looks like this <kafka.config>file:///${basedir}...
   • Edit %BLUEFLOOD_HOME%\blueflood-core\src\test\java\com\rackspacecloud\blueflood\service\ConfigurationTest.java and add an extra / at the end of file:// near line 51.
4. Create the Uber jar by running mvn package -P all-modules in an Administrator cmd window.
5. Create config files and a startup file.
6. With Cassandra running create the DATA tablespace by opening up a cmd window and executing %CASSANDRA_HOME%\bin\cassandra-cli.bat -f %BLUEFLOOD_HOME%\src\cassandra\clie\load.script -h 127.0.0.1 -p 9160
7. Edit conf/blueflood.conf if you wish

###Webbit This project currently uses the 0.4.16-SNAPSHOT version of webbit. Since SNAPSHOTS are not held in maven central we will need to install it to our local maven repo.

1. Clone the Webbit git repostiory git clone git@github.com:webbit/webbit.git
2. cd webbit
3. Run mvn install

###Super-MQMonitor

##Running Must be done in order.

1. Start Cassandra by executing startCassandra.bat
2. Start Blueflood by executing startBlueflood.bat
3. Start Super-MQMonitor by executing startMonitor
4. Open up web browser and point to http://localhost:8080
