Pulsar Manager

Pulsar Manager is a web-based GUI management and monitoring tool that helps administrators and users manage and monitor tenants, namespaces, topics, subscriptions, brokers, clusters, and so on, and supports dynamic configuration of multiple environments.

note

If you monitor your current stats with Pulsar dashboard, you can try to use Pulsar Manager instead. Pulsar dashboard is deprecated.

Install

The easiest way to use the Pulsar Manager is to run it inside a Docker container.

docker pull apachepulsar/pulsar-manager:v0.2.0
docker run -it \
    -p 9527:9527 -p 7750:7750 \
    -e SPRING_CONFIGURATION_FILE=/pulsar-manager/pulsar-manager/application.properties \
    apachepulsar/pulsar-manager:v0.2.0

SPRING_CONFIGURATION_FILE: Default configuration file for spring.

Set administrator account and password

CSRF_TOKEN=$(curl http://localhost:7750/pulsar-manager/csrf-token)
curl \
    -H 'X-XSRF-TOKEN: $CSRF_TOKEN' \
    -H 'Cookie: XSRF-TOKEN=$CSRF_TOKEN;' \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -X PUT http://localhost:7750/pulsar-manager/users/superuser \
    -d '{"name": "admin", "password": "apachepulsar", "description": "test", "email": "username@test.org"}'

You can find the docker image in the Docker Hub directory and build an image from the source code as well:

git clone https://github.com/apache/pulsar-manager
cd pulsar-manager/front-end
npm install --save
npm run build:prod
cd ..
./gradlew build -x test
cd ..
docker build -f docker/Dockerfile --build-arg BUILD_DATE=`date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"` --build-arg VCS_REF=`latest` --build-arg VERSION=`latest` -t apachepulsar/pulsar-manager .

Use custom databases

If you have a large amount of data, you can use a custom database. The following is an example of PostgreSQL.

Initialize database and table structures using the file.
Modify the configuration file and add PostgreSQL configuration.

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/pulsar_manager
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=postgres

Compile to generate a new executable jar package.

./gradlew build -x test

Enable JWT authentication

If you want to turn on JWT authentication, configure the following parameters:

backend.jwt.token: token for the superuser. You need to configure this parameter during cluster initialization.
jwt.broker.token.mode: multiple modes of generating token, including PUBLIC, PRIVATE, and SECRET.
jwt.broker.public.key: configure this option if you use the PUBLIC mode.
jwt.broker.private.key: configure this option if you use the PRIVATE mode.
jwt.broker.secret.key: configure this option if you use the SECRET mode.

For more information, see Token Authentication Admin of Pulsar.

If you want to enable JWT authentication, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: use command-line tool

wget https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/pulsar/pulsar-manager/pulsar-manager-0.2.0/apache-pulsar-manager-0.2.0-bin.tar.gz
tar -zxvf apache-pulsar-manager-0.2.0-bin.tar.gz
cd pulsar-manager
tar -zxvf pulsar-manager.tar
cd pulsar-manager
cp -r ../dist ui
./bin/pulsar-manager --redirect.host=http://localhost --redirect.port=9527 insert.stats.interval=600000 --backend.jwt.token=token --jwt.broker.token.mode=PRIVATE --jwt.broker.private.key=file:///path/broker-private.key --jwt.broker.public.key=file:///path/broker-public.key

Firstly, set the administrator account and password

Secondly, log in to Pulsar manager through http://localhost:7750/ui/index.html.

Method 2: configure the application.properties file

backend.jwt.token=token

jwt.broker.token.mode=PRIVATE
jwt.broker.public.key=file:///path/broker-public.key
jwt.broker.private.key=file:///path/broker-private.key

or
jwt.broker.token.mode=SECRET
jwt.broker.secret.key=file:///path/broker-secret.key

Method 3: use Docker and enable token authentication.

export JWT_TOKEN="your-token"
docker run -it -p 9527:9527 -p 7750:7750 -e REDIRECT_HOST=http://localhost -e REDIRECT_PORT=9527 -e DRIVER_CLASS_NAME=org.postgresql.Driver -e URL='jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/pulsar_manager' -e USERNAME=pulsar -e PASSWORD=pulsar -e LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG -e JWT_TOKEN=$JWT_TOKEN -v $PWD:/data apachepulsar/pulsar-manager:v0.2.0 /bin/sh

JWT_TOKEN: the token of superuser configured for the broker. It is generated by the bin/pulsar tokens create --secret-key or bin/pulsar tokens create --private-key command.
REDIRECT_HOST: the IP address of the front-end server.
REDIRECT_PORT: the port of the front-end server.
DRIVER_CLASS_NAME: the driver class name of the PostgreSQL database.
URL: the JDBC URL of your PostgreSQL database, such as jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/pulsar_manager. The docker image automatically start a local instance of the PostgreSQL database.
USERNAME: the username of PostgreSQL.
PASSWORD: the password of PostgreSQL.
LOG_LEVEL: the level of log.
Method 4: use Docker and turn on token authentication and token management by private key and public key.

export JWT_TOKEN="your-token"
export PRIVATE_KEY="file:///pulsar-manager/secret/my-private.key"
export PUBLIC_KEY="file:///pulsar-manager/secret/my-public.key"
docker run -it -p 9527:9527 -p 7750:7750 -e REDIRECT_HOST=http://localhost -e REDIRECT_PORT=9527 -e DRIVER_CLASS_NAME=org.postgresql.Driver -e URL='jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/pulsar_manager' -e USERNAME=pulsar -e PASSWORD=pulsar -e LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG -e JWT_TOKEN=$JWT_TOKEN -e PRIVATE_KEY=$PRIVATE_KEY -e PUBLIC_KEY=$PUBLIC_KEY -v $PWD:/data -v $PWD/secret:/pulsar-manager/secret apachepulsar/pulsar-manager:v0.2.0 /bin/sh

JWT_TOKEN: the token of superuser configured for the broker. It is generated by the bin/pulsar tokens create --private-key command.
PRIVATE_KEY: private key path mounted in container, generated by bin/pulsar tokens create-key-pair command.
PUBLIC_KEY: public key path mounted in container, generated by bin/pulsar tokens create-key-pair command.
$PWD/secret: the folder where the private key and public key generated by the bin/pulsar tokens create-key-pair command are placed locally
REDIRECT_HOST: the IP address of the front-end server.
REDIRECT_PORT: the port of the front-end server.
DRIVER_CLASS_NAME: the driver class name of the PostgreSQL database.
URL: the JDBC URL of your PostgreSQL database, such as jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/pulsar_manager. The docker image automatically start a local instance of the PostgreSQL database.
USERNAME: the username of PostgreSQL.
PASSWORD: the password of PostgreSQL.
LOG_LEVEL: the level of log.
Method 5: use Docker and turn on token authentication and token management by secret key.

export JWT_TOKEN="your-token"
export SECRET_KEY="file:///pulsar-manager/secret/my-secret.key"
docker run -it -p 9527:9527 -p 7750:7750 -e REDIRECT_HOST=http://localhost -e REDIRECT_PORT=9527 -e DRIVER_CLASS_NAME=org.postgresql.Driver -e URL='jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/pulsar_manager' -e USERNAME=pulsar -e PASSWORD=pulsar -e LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG -e JWT_TOKEN=$JWT_TOKEN -e SECRET_KEY=$SECRET_KEY -v $PWD:/data -v $PWD/secret:/pulsar-manager/secret apachepulsar/pulsar-manager:v0.2.0 /bin/sh

JWT_TOKEN: the token of superuser configured for the broker. It is generated by the bin/pulsar tokens create --secret-key command.
