Caught error spawning Chromium - Generate PDF Error

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi Community,
Kibana version : 6.5.1 hosted in docker container (the whole stack is in docker container)
When I am trying to 'generate pdf' from 'share' option in dashboard :
image

I am getting the following error :
image

Verbose logging on kibana gives this log trace:

Hello, I still have the problem, even if my KIBANA is not in a docker. Here is the whole picture: kibana.yml, kibana.logs. I have recorded the whole logs in the server and the HAR in my browser, but cannot send it in the discuss (body too large). I have just appended grep -i reportin kibana.log | grep -v debug

Hi, to start, take a look at the troubleshooting guide here: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md. You can try the first step of testing with ldd by using the chromium executable that Kibana provides:

ldd /kibana_directory/data/headless_shell-linux/headless_shell | grep not

I found the solution: here is the thread for that: [kibana 6.5.1] Reporting fails with elasticcloud endpoint (but not elasticsearch selfhosted)
