Components

Leek architecture is composed of three main components:

• Leek Agent - connects to the brokers, subscribe to queues and fanout messages to the target API webhook endpoint.

• Leek API - receives webhook events from agent(s) and index (upsert) events to ElasticSearch DB.

• Leek WEB - frontend application that connects to Leek API and used by users to monitor workers/tasks.

• Elasticsearch - receives events from Leek API, index them and respond to aggregation and search queries.

Leek agent can be run as a standalone agent separate for Leek application or as a local agent with Leek API and Leek Web. the former can be useful if you don't have control over your brokers infrastructure, a third party entity can install the standalone agent in its infrastructure and fanout the tasks result to your API. whereas the later can be used if you are the owner of the brokers, and you have network access to them.

Elasticsearch can be run as a standalone instance separate from Leek application or as a local elasticsearch DB side by side with your Agent and the API, the former is useful if you want to persist events and avoid data loss during leek CI/CD or when leek experience an issue. whereas the later can be used if you don't mind losing events data when rolling updates.
