[Hawkular-dev] Issues installing Hawkular Service and Alert

My name is Hassnan Khan and I work at Fandango in the NOC department. We use an ELK stack to process our logs into readable data that we see on Kibana (4.6.4) / ElasticSearch 2.4.x. We've been trying to get a standalone alerting system and haven't had much luck. I came across Hawkular Services + Alerts and thought this is something we could possibly use. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to install it successfully. We've tried all the installation guides on github + hawkular blogs and keep getting an error when trying to connect to Cassandra even though it is obviously running. Is there any tips you can give on successfully installing the suite?
