ES with xpack in Kube

[Balazs_Varga (Varga Balázs)]

Hello all,

I am struggling with a strange issue.

When I would like to enable native auth on my cluster in Kube, see the following error.
"type": "server", "timestamp": "2020-03-04T13:10:11,337Z", "level": "ERROR", "component": o.e.x.s.a.e.NativeUsersStore", "cluster.name": "elasticsearch", "node.name": "elasticsearch-master1", "mess │ │ age": "security index is unavailable. short circuiting retrieval of user [user]", "cluster.uuid": "BEEDfVC8QCGfqwbUC8EjBw", "node.id": "5UEqoU8PRp6pMimvj2dljw" }

info about cluster:

• Installed with kops
• Cluster version 15.10
• ES version: 7.6.0
• ES installed using official helm chart (https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/tree/master/elasticsearch)
• istio mtls forced in the cluster

Any advice ?
Thanks

What does the output from _cat/indices/ show?

I solved this issue with modifying elastic user and not trying to create a new user on start.
