Install

Configure Bot for IRC

settings.h contains the following default settings:

#define IRC_SERVER_IP "38.229.70.22"
#define IRC_SERVER_PORT 6667
#define IRC_CHANNEL "#flawlztest"
#define IRC_USER_SERVER_IP "127.0.0.1"
#define IRC_USER_PASS "somepassword"
#define IRC_USER_NICK "elasticirc"
#define IRC_USER_REALNAME "Elastic IRC Bot"
#define ELASTICSEARCH_BASE_URL "http://localhost:9200"

Replace these with your own settings.

NOTE: Each time settings.h is modified, the source must be recompiled.

Compile

Under Linux, for production, I recommend running the application under a specially created user to isolate the application from the rest of the system.

Run the following commands to compile the project.

git submodule update --init --recursive

cmake CMakeLists.txt (for Release)

or

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug CMakeLists.txt (for Debug)

make

Binaries can be found in ./bin

Elasticsearch Index

Run the following command to establish the index with Elasticsearch. The program does not currently stray away from this mapping. The index is named elastic_irc_bot and the document is named privmsg.

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"settings": {"index": {"number_of_shards": "5", "number_of_replicas": "1"} }, "mappings": {"privmsg": {"properties": {"username": {"type": "keyword"}, "message": {"type": "text"}, "datetime_created": {"type": "date", "format": "strict_date_hour_minute_second"}, "channel": {"type": "keyword"} } } } }' http://localhost:9200/elastic_irc_bot

Calling: curl -X GET http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices should show that the index was correctly created.
