ES not working on ec2 with auto discover

David_Montgomery · January 25, 2014, 2:37am

Hi,
Newbie for installing ES esp on ec2.

I used the deb package to installing ubuntu 12.04

anyway.....

here is the basics of how I install with my chef recipe

version = '0.90.10'
remote_file
"#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/elasticsearch-#{version}.deb" do
source
"https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-#{version}.deb"
action :create_if_missing
end

dpkg_package
"#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/elasticsearch-#{version}.deb" do
action :install
end
bash "add_aws" do
cwd "/usr/share/elasticsearch"
code <<-EOH
git clone https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws.git
bin/plugin -install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/2.0.0.RC1
EOH
not_if {File.exists?("elasticsearch-cloud-aws")}
end

Here is my log file additions
discovery.type: ec2
cloud.aws.access_key: <%=@AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID %>
cloud.aws.secret_key: <%=@AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY %>

So...wow...ES will not work.

this is what i get
sudo service elasticsearch status

elasticsearch is not running

I run for the command line this is what I get...

/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -f
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (node).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for
more info.

I look at the logs..nothing that points to an error.

So..how do I get auto discovery to work onb ec2?

Thanks

Aws plugin 2.0.0.RC1 works only with Elasticsearch 1.0.0.RC1 and >.

Look at the README.

I use the 1.0.0.RC1 this is what I get. ES still not working. What is
missing? I installed elasticsearch-cloud-aws.

I would double check, that you're using the matching versions of
Elasticsearch and the Cloud AWS plugin. Check the files actually installed,
you should see elasticsearch-cloud-aws-2.0.0.RC1.jar for 1.x there.

Also, you can increase the logging for AWS related events to have more
visibility into the
process: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/config/logging.yml#L8

If the problems stay, can you provide info on which region you're using,
check if the credentials are valid, what type of instance you're using, how
do you set ES_HEAP_SIZE?

Finally, in your Chef recipe, you don't have to clone the repository,
bin/plugin -install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/2.0.0.RC1
should be enough...

Hi,

the credentials are valid. Its the same creds that I use attached a
volume and create tags using the aws cookbook where the are stored in a
data bag.
I am in the east region and using a m1.small
The file exists
sudo find / -name elasticsearch-cloud-aws-2.0.0.RC1.jar
/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/cloud-aws/elasticsearch-cloud-aws-2.0.0.RC1.jar
I did not have a problem with ES when not using aws for auto discovery.
Is there another way to cluster machines on aws? Clearly there is an
issues somewhere. If I have 2 or more machines..is there another way?

Thanks

The AWS discovery mechanism is alive and kicking in most cases. Based on your description, you seem to not be able to start Elasticsearch with the plugin installed. Is that the case?

For the AWS discovery to work, you have to open port 9300-9400 among the Elasticsearch instances. Have you done so?

Best way how to achieve that in EC2 is to have a dedicated security group, which opens these ports to "itself". Screenshot (of the old AWS console): Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

Hi,

Ok........problem solved....was not discovery., I was the attachment of
the volume. This brings up another issue.....why did I not get an error?

logger:

log action execution errors for easier debugging

action: DEBUG

I just removed this line form elasticsearch.yml: path.data: /data

I attachment is formated as mkfs.ext3 and the volume exists.

is not path.data: /data is method to specify where the data should be
stored?

Thanks

What do you mean by "attachment of the volume"? The volume was not attached, was attached somewhere else, there was a permissions problem? When Elasticsearch cannot write to the data location, it prints out an error in the log.

elasticsearch -D es.path.data=/not/exist
...
- ElasticsearchIllegalStateException[Failed to obtain node lock, is the following location writable?: [/not/exist/elasticsearch]]

is not path.data: /data is method to specify where the data should be stored?

Yes, it is: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/config/elasticsearch.yml#L147
