Because of Retry attempts losing Events data in Dashboard from File beat to Elasticsearch nodes, can anyone have any idea let me know .

Mani_Manikanta · February 26, 2024, 2:03pm

Even after implementing the below configuration in filebeat.yml still, the error exists

  loadbalance: true
  timeout: 400
  backoff.init: 5
  backoff.max: 10

stephenb · February 26, 2024, 3:28pm

try running

filebeat test output

The error says that fielbeat can not connect with your elasticsearch there are many possible reasons try the test first

Then from filebeat server

curl -k -v -u elastic https://x.x.x.x:9200

Show the commands and results from both

Mani_Manikanta · February 27, 2024, 3:43am

Hi @stephenb,

Every time you will be there for Community! Glad to hear more from your Recommendations again.

As this is the Production Environment, I will be doing this and sharing the test output soon, but this issue is happening only once in 2 days fyi we are maintaining an ELK Cluster with 10 nodes.

Please find the Curl output here

Thanks for your time in sharing the info.

I am not sure what you mean..
a)is the the Error connecting only happening intermittently?
b) or all the time?

Please share a sample of the filebeat.yml output.elasticsearch section ... sanitized...

Hi @stephenb,

The error happening intermittently only

Intermittent is usually some form of connectivity issue...

Those are hard to debug...
