CoGe - Analytics

CoGe Analytics is a metrics and analytics engine for the CoGe platform written on Clojure's web framework Noir.


How To: Deploy on a Server via Apache Webserver

Prerequisites:

(You can install these CLI tools using your linux distributions preferred package manager)


Get Analytics Running:

Once you have all the prerequisites installed, you need to get the Greentea (Analytics) repo from Github. Run:

 `$ git clone https://github.com/LyonsLab/Greentea.git` 

Inside the cloned directory run:

 `$ lein run &`

it should pull in all the required dependencies* and start a Jetty servlet running on port 3456.

Check localhost:3456 to verify that the analytics platform is running.

Configure Apache to Proxy the Servlet Port to the /analytics Endpoint

Now to setup apache to point localhost/analytics/ to port 3456. Open '/etc/apache2/apache.conf' in your favorite editor and add these lines:

RewriteEngine On 
NameVirtualHost *:90 
Listen 90

<VirtualHost *:90> 
ServerAdmin coge.genome@gmail.com ServerName localhost 
#ServerAlias geco.com.analytics
ErrorLog /home/rchasman/logs/error.log CustomLog <PATH>/logs/access.log combined LogLevel warn

<Directory <PATH>/Greentea/resources/public/>                    
AllowOverride All                                                        
Order Allow,Deny                                                         
Allow from all                                                           
</Directory>                                                                 
                                                         
DocumentRoot <PATH>/Greentea/resources/public                    
                                                         
ProxyPass /analytics/ http://localhost:3456/analytics/                       
ProxyPassReverse /analytics/ http://localhost:3456/analytics/                
                                                         
ProxyPass /analytics http://localhost:3456/analytics/                        
ProxyPassReverse /analytics http://localhost:3456/analytics/                 
                                                         
ProxyPass /greentea/ http://localhost:3456/greentea/                         
ProxyPassReverse /greentea/ http://localhost:3456/greentea/                  
                                                         
ProxyPass /greentea http://localhost:3456/greentea/                          
ProxyPassReverse /greentea http://localhost:3456/greentea/                   
</VirtualHost> 

Now run:

 `sudo services apache2 restart`

If it says OK, it means the server should be started and you should be able to point a browser at localhost/analytics. However, we still need to configure the metrics to the database before we can get any useful information.

Configuring Analytics to the Database

TODO: Create a configuration file that allows for loading in settings from it so you don't have to fudge with the code.

Open "Greentea/src/greentea/db.clj"

Modify from line 9:

 defdb cogedb                                                                   
   (mysql {:db "<DB>"                                                            
           :user "<DB USER>"                                                          
           :host "<DB HOST (probably localhost)>"                                                     
           :port "<DB PORT (remove this line if default)>"                                                          
           :password "<DB PASSWORD>"})

Write to the file. Make sure not to push sensitive information back to Github!

*In the case of a common dependency issue with iplant-clojure-commons:

We need to point to the missing dependency manually: Run:

 `$ git clone https://github.com/iPlantCollaborativeOpenSource/iplant-clojure-commons.git`

In the iplant-clojure-commons directory, run:

 `$ lein uberjar` 

In lein 2.0 this will create a file at "<PATH>/iplant-clojure-commons/clojure-commons-1.3.3-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar"

Replacing with appropriate <PATH>, run:

 `mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.iplantc -DartifactId=clojure-commons -Dversion=1.3.3-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=<PATH>/iplant-clojure-commons/clojure-commons-1.3.3-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar`

Now try

 `$ lein clean` 

and then

 `$ lein run` 

The dependency issue should be resolved.
