How to Install SIP3 on Debian Latest

SIP3 is an open-source, distributed, and scalable monitoring and analytics platform for real-time network traffic analysis. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of SIP3 on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A fresh Debian latest server.
  • SSH access to your server with root privileges.
  • At least 4 GB of RAM.
  • At least 4 CPU cores.
  • Docker and Docker Compose installed on your server.
  • A registered domain name and DNS records pointing to your server.

Step 1: Clone SIP3 repository

First, clone the SIP3 repository to your server using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/sip3io/sip3-docker-compose.git

Step 2: Configure SIP3

Once the repository is cloned, you need to configure your SIP3 installation by modifying the .env file. This file is located in the root directory of the sip3-docker-compose repository. You can use the default values or modify them to suit your requirements.

# SIP3 Configuration Settings
SYSLOG_HOST=sip3.example.com
SYSLOG_PORT=514
KAFKA_HOST=kafka.example.com
KAFKA_PORT=9092
CASSANDRA_HOSTS=cassandra.example.com
KIBANA_HOST=kibana.example.com
ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS=elasticsearch.example.com
HOST=example.com

Step 3: Build and start SIP3

Once you have completed the configuration, use the following command to build and start SIP3:

cd sip3-docker-compose
docker-compose up -d

This command will download the SIP3 images and start the containers in the background.

Step 4: Verify SIP3 installation

To verify the SIP3 installation, use the following command to check whether all SIP3 containers are up and running:

docker ps

If everything is working fine, you should see the following containers running:

  • cqlsh
  • elasticsearch
  • kibana
  • logstash
  • sip3-ui
  • sip3-manager
  • sip3-capture
  • sip3-analyze
  • zookeeper
  • kafka
  • cassandra

Now, you can access your SIP3 UI by visiting your registered domain name in your web browser.
