This page explains the steps required to setup systemd service for Parseable distributed cluster in S3 storage mode.

Prerequisites

• Parseable binary is available at /usr/local/bin/. Download the relevant binary from the release page.
• S3 or compatible object store URL, access key, secret key, and bucket name to be used as storage.
• Identify at least two servers to run Parseable ingestor and query services.

Set up Parseable query server

Log on to the query node and create a configuration file for the query. Please ensure to replace the placeholders with the relevant values.

cat <<EOT >> /etc/default/parseable
P_USERNAME=admin
P_PASSWORD=admin
P_STAGING_DIR="/var/lib/parseable/staging"
P_ADDR=0.0.0.0:8000
P_S3_URL="https://s3.<region>.amazonaws.com"
P_S3_BUCKET=<s3-bucket>
P_S3_ACCESS_KEY=<access-key>
P_S3_SECRET_KEY=<secret-key>
P_S3_REGION=<region>
P_MODE=query
EOT

Download parseable.s3.service in /etc/systemd/system/:

cd /etc/systemd/system/
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parseablehq/parseable/main/systemd/parseable.s3.service

Start/Stop the query service

Once the service file is created, reload the systemd daemon and start the service.

systemctl enable parseable.s3.service
service parseable.s3 start

You can check the status of the service using the following command:

service parseable.s3 status

You can now access Parseable at the address http://localhost:8000 (default configuration). If you added P_ADDR in config file, please access the correct URL accordingly.

To check logs, use journalctl, like:

journalctl -eu parseable.s3.service

In case you want to disable / uninstall Parseable, run the below command:

systemctl disable parseable.s3.service

Set up Parseable ingestor server

Log on to each ingestor node and create a configuration file for the ingestor. Please make sure to replace the placeholders with the appropriate values.

cat <<EOT >> /etc/default/parseable
P_USERNAME=admin
P_PASSWORD=admin
P_STAGING_DIR="/var/lib/parseable/staging"
P_ADDR=0.0.0.0:8000
P_S3_URL="https://s3.<region>.amazonaws.com"
P_S3_BUCKET=<s3-bucket>
P_S3_ACCESS_KEY=<access-key>
P_S3_SECRET_KEY=<secret-key>
P_S3_REGION=<region>
P_MODE=ingest
P_INGESTOR_ENDPOINT="<public IP of this server>:<port>"
EOT

Download parseable.s3.service in /etc/systemd/system/:

cd /etc/systemd/system/
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parseablehq/parseable/main/systemd/parseable.s3.service

Start/Stop the ingest service

Once the service file is created, reload the systemd daemon and start the service.

systemctl enable parseable.s3.service
service parseable.s3 start

You can check the status of the service using the following command.

service parseable.s3 status

You can now access Parseable at the address http://localhost:8000 (default configuration). If you added P_ADDR to the config file, please access the correct URL accordingly.

To check logs, use journalctl, like:

journalctl -eu parseable.s3.service

In case you want to disable / uninstall Parseable, run the below command:

systemctl disable parseable.s3.service
