Error: Get "http://unix/": dial unix /opt/Elastic/Agent/data/tmp/default/endpoint-security/endpoint-security.sock: connect: no such file or directory

I've been digging into this for a few days now and I feel I've reached a wall.

  • elastic-agent connects to both elastic and fleet and I can see the logs coming in.
  • elastic-endpoint connects to fleet but refuses to connect to elastic.

Versions:

  • Security endpoint integration - 8.2.0
  • Everything else - 8.1.3
  • Ubuntu 20.04 for all machines

Docker Setup:

  • 3 es nodes, kibana & fleet all on same host
  • TLS enabled with self-signed certs

Agent Setup:

  • Has endpoint integration
  • Enrolled VIA fleet successfully with --insecure flag
  • elastic-agent.service and ElasticEndpoint.service both running
  • Self-signed ca.crt copied to trusted root directory on host ran update-ca-certificates

Here's some log outputs where you can see the errors:

Obviously these two are the culprit but I can't seem to find out why

Status: SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK [SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name '10.118.0.3'] ()
        Help: Host needs to trust server cert or server cert needs to be added to Elasticsearch/Fleet config

     error: Get "http://unix/": dial unix /opt/Elastic/Agent/data/tmp/default/endpoint-security/endpoint-security.sock: connect: no such file or directory

The issue doesn't seem to be related to the 1st error as I've already copied over the ca.crt to the host trusted root directory and I can see it in my elastic-endpoint.yaml anyways as shown below.

The 2nd error is interesting because it seems to be pointing towards the wrong .sock, when I go into the directories I can see this:

root@lemmy-tryp:/opt/Elastic/Endpoint/cache# ls
ElasticEndpointServiceCommsSocket  artifacts  eBPF  resources
root@lemmy-tryp:/opt/Elastic/Agent/data/tmp# ls
default  elastic-agent.sock
root@lemmy-tryp:/opt/Elastic/Agent/data/tmp# cd default
root@lemmy-tryp:/opt/Elastic/Agent/data/tmp/default# ls
filebeat  metricbeat

Seems like I need to point my elastic-endpoint to the correct socket location but after searching I'm unable to find any information related to configuring the socket in in the docs or github.

As a possible workaround both my ELK stack and host I want to monitor are on the same VPC network so for this exercise I don't actually care if the communication is secured, just need that elastic-endpoint to connect!

Thanks for any help :slight_smile:

Doing some more ts. Here's what's listening on the ports. Note tcp6 where elastic-endpoint is cutoff at the end?

Thanks for all the details. The output from elastic-endpoint test output and Endpoint's config are very useful here.

I'm surprised that connecting to the same address over https works for Fleet Server and fails for Elasticsearch. The only two differences between those connections are the port connected to, and that for Elasticsearch there is an additional certificate authority available for validation and a CA fingerprint.

The additional certificate authority for Elasticsearch shouldn't cause an issue (its additive), and it doesn't look like you're getting far enough along for the CA fingerprint to be the culprit.

If you want to run down getting a secure connection, three things you might try:

  1. Remove the Elasticsearch CA in the config just to make sure that isn't causing the issue
  2. Changing the Elasticsearch port in the config the Fleet Server's port just to see if the SSL connection establishes (of course this isn't a workable solution long term since it won't result in data being actually written to Elasticsearch).
  3. Check if there is a proxy sitting in front of Elasticsearch that is serving up a different SSL certificate to Endpoint than is expected. I think openssl s_client -showcerts -connect 10.118.0.3:9200 compared to the same command against port 8220 (Fleet Server) will help diagnose if that's the case.

However, you say you aren't very worried about HTTPS. In that case, based on the error you're seeing I think if you add into the ssl settings for Elasticsearch verification_mode: certificate (or none) the connection will establish. (link)

So changing it to verification_mode: certificate worked! I had to do this in Kabana under the advanced YAML section. All the filebeat stuff in the security overview swapped to Endpoint so I would say the pipeline is complete and I have line-data on the network map finally. Thank you!

Since I was curious I also compared openssl s_client -showcerts -connect 10.118.0.3:9200 against openssl s_client -showcerts -connect 10.118.0.3:8220 and found out that it's serving up different certs, eso1 and fleet respectively the latter of which was my ca.crt. So maybe I am behind a reverse proxy.

Haven't got a chance to try it but if I were to add es01.crt to my advanced YAML config should that solve it? The script I was using dropped fleet/ca.crt in there for me.

Great, I'm glad data is flowing for you now.

It's worth a try, but I suspect that won't work. The hostname in the certificate Endpoint received from connecting to 10.118.0.3:9200 doesn't seem like it matched the address/hostname the connection was to (10.118.0.3), causing the full verification to fail.
