Manticore Streams

Manticore Streams is a Kubernetes application for filtering Apache Kafka topics with Manticore Search. Define filtering rules in the UI, process incoming documents at scale, and write matched documents to another Kafka topic.

Requirements

• A Kubernetes cluster
• Helm 3
• An Apache Kafka cluster reachable from the Kubernetes workloads

The release chart uses public images from ghcr.io/manticoresoftware/streams; no image-pull secret is required.

Install

1. Download the streams-<version>.tgz chart asset for the desired version from the GitHub Releases page.
2. Install it with Helm. Choose a release name, namespace, administrator credentials, and the hostname served by your ingress controller:

helm install manticore-streams ./streams-<version>.tgz \
  --namespace manticore-streams \
  --create-namespace \
  --set ui.admin.email='admin@example.com' \
  --set ui.admin.pass='change-this-password' \
  --set ingress.hosts[0].host='streams.example.com' \
  --set ingress.hosts[0].paths[0]='/'

To deploy without an ingress controller, add --set ingress.enabled=false and expose the UI service by the mechanism appropriate for your cluster.

Verify that the workloads are running:

kubectl get pods --namespace manticore-streams

After signing in to the UI, configure sources, destinations, and streams. The Kafka brokers and topics you configure must be reachable from the Manticore Streams namespace.

Upgrade and uninstall

Download the desired release asset, then upgrade the existing release with the same values:

helm upgrade manticore-streams ./streams-<version>.tgz \
  --namespace manticore-streams \
  --reuse-values

To remove the release:

helm uninstall manticore-streams --namespace manticore-streams
