Getting started

From nothing to your first event coming back, in five steps. Each one is a short pointer to the section of the operations manual that does the work, so what you follow is the manual itself and never a summary of it that has fallen behind.

No release has been cut yet. So step 1 is building from source. A download appears here once the first release is recorded in the release ledger on Platform support, and not before.

  1. Get the binaries

    There are two programs to build: EventLake Core (the server) and EventLake Sensor (the agent on each host).

    §2.1.1 What ships →

  2. Run EventLake Core

    Bring up one node behind TLS that survives being restarted.

    §2.1.3 Quick start →

  3. Make it durable

    Keep cases, holds and keys across a restart instead of starting empty.

    §2.1.4 The durable-mode runbook →

  4. Enrol a Sensor

    Install EventLake Sensor on a host and bind it to your Core server.

    §2.1.10 The Sensor →

  5. See your first event come back

    Send the node one event, ask for it back, and restart to see it stay.

    §2.1.5a First event back →
