Install guide
Installing binaries:
// TODO Update repository from snapshot master to release
Manual build
How to setup and build Honeycomb locally
Distribution notes
Honeycomb is packaged as a static set of jars, that are loaded by Honeycomb Main class, where pre-configured plugins are then started.
Footprint
Minimal footprint for Honeycomb infrastructure (without any plugins) at rest around 100Mb. For the VPP Honeycomb distribution, minimal footprint was observed at around 150Mb.
The footprint varies depending on:
- VM load. Under heavier load, JVM tends to release some unused memory used during Honeycomb initialization.
- Northbound interface configuration (4 interfaces started by default: Restconf HTTP, HTTPS, Netconf TCP, SSH). Minimal footprint can be achieved by using only a single interface.
- JVM configuration. Even lower footprint numbers can be achieved by using aggressive JVM memory options: -client -Xms20m -Xmx32m -XX:MetaspaceSize=5m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=32m -XX:MaxMetaspaceExpansion=1m -Xss512k -XX:+UseSerialGC -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xverify:none -noverify
- Amount of data stored by Honeycomb.
User Guide
Configuration files
