Building

To build the MarkLogic Monitoring app from source, clone the Github repository:

git clone https://github.com/marklogic-community/marklogic-monitoring-for-splunk.git

and run this command from the top-level folder:

./gradlew build -x generateLookups -x appInspect 

generateLookups

The generateLookups task will retrieve the latest set of MarkLogic features and error codes to generate Splunk lookups with the latest information published to the MarkLogic website, which requires a local MarkLogic instance in order to eval some XQuery to fetch and parse the information from http://docs.marklogic.com.

mlHost=localhost
mlRestPort=8000
mlUsername=admin
mlPassword=admin

You can override any of the default connection properties for your local MarkLogic instance by adding entries to your ~/.gradle/gradle.properties, or by specifying on on commandline:

appInspect

The appInspect task will validate the application using the Splunk AppInspector. You will need to specify your Splunk credentials. You can set these project properties using commandline switches:

./gradlew build -PappInspectorUsername=myUsername -PappInspectorPassword=myPassword

or you can add the properties to your ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

appInspectorUsername=myUsername
appInspectorPassword=myPassword

and then you can run the build with AppInspector validation:

./gradlew build
