Welcome to our community! :smiley:

That is an informational log, not an error.
It'd help if you shared more of your log :slight_smile:

Hi ,

Oh i see , but i was not able to start the elastic and kibana services. Anyways i was able to solve the issue, not sure if its the correct solution, but it worked for me. I just deleted the contents of the Temp folder , restarted my pc and all is well now. :slight_smile:

Im having this same issue. I just installed elastic, configured the elasticsearch.yml file and attempted to start elastic service and its stuck on the following info log:
database file changed [var/lob/elasticsearch/tmp/geoip-database/MEBd6Y11R_6yK4NK4GKwGA/GeoLite2-City.mmdb], reload database

I did exactly what acezeus did to resolve his issue but that didnt work.

Hey!
This is weird, but I'm also setting up Elasticsearch in my kubernetes cluster and I have exactly the same log. Maybe there is a problem with GeoLite2?

Please note that this is not an error. It's an informational entry telling you something has changed, it's not a problem :slight_smile:

9

Yeah, ok, but my pods are Running with state 0/1. This is not acceptable.

EDIT: I'm using Elasticsearch helm chart v.7.14.

10

It might be better to start another thread with more info so we can help you.

11

Do you mean new topic here in discuss.elastic.co?

12

Yes.

13

Hi. did you solve your issue? because i have same issue exactly like you.
did you open new topic here or ?
Thanks

14

Hey! Yeah so my solution was to remove everything from my cluster, create certs one more time (I am using esConfig field to add specified elasticsearch.yml file) and run helm chart one again. Then it works.
