Follow up: Unable to fetch data from kibana collector

[alexus]

I'm still getting same behavior w/ 6.5.4 as well:

Unable to fetch data from kibana collector - Kibana - Discuss the Elastic Stack

@chrisronline - I'm not getting anything else in logs.

After I set logging.verbose to true, I now see

Fetching data from kibana collector

right before:

Unable to fetch data from kibana collector

another message that I found closest to error is:

not sending [kibana_settings] monitoring document because [undefined] is null or invalid.

not sure if that's related or not or maybe just caused by initial error.

Please advise.

Hi @alexus,

I'm honestly not sure. Per the code, there should be an error message logged right before the Unable to fetch data from kibana collector. But we can try and figure out what is happening in the kibana collector that might cause an error.

Can you run this query and post the results?

POST .kibana*/_search
{
  "size": 0,
  "query": {
    "terms": {
      "type": [
        "dashboard",
        "visualization",
        "search",
        "index-pattern",
        "graph-workspace",
        "timelion-sheet"
      ]
    }
  },
  "aggs": {
    "types": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "type",
        "size": 6
      }
    }
  }
}

I'm not seeing anything suspicious there. I'll continue to look and let you know if I find anything

Thank you, I appreciate it.
