Hello All, I downloaded Elasticsearch 8.3 and Kibana 8.3 and I've run into lots of questions and issues about setting up a simple configuration to read a small CSV file. After running into some errors I started changing the defaults in the yaml file to: ```auto # ---------------------------------- Cluster ----------------------------------- # # Use a descriptive name for your cluster: # cluster.name: my-application # # ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------ # # Use a descriptive name for the node: # node.name: node-1 # # Add custom attributes to the node: # node.attr.rack: r1 # # ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------ # # Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma): # #path.data: /path/to/data # C:\elasticsearch-8.3.3\data # Path to log files: # #path.logs: /path/to/logs C:\elasticsearch-8.3.3\logs #discovery.seed_hosts: ["host1", "host2"] # # Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes: # cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"] # # For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation. # # --------------------------------- Readiness ---------------------------------- # # Enable an unauthenticated TCP readiness endpoint on localhost # readiness.port: 9399 ``` So no matter how I try to set the path for data and logs, I keep getting this error and can't get past it: Exception in thread "main" org.elasticsearch.common.settings.SettingsException: Failed to load settings from [elasticsearch.yml] at org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Settings$Builder.loadFromStream(Settings.java:1194) at org.elasticsearch.node.InternalSettingsPreparer.loadConfigWithSubstitutions(InternalSettingsPreparer.java:126) at org.elasticsearch.node.InternalSettingsPreparer.prepareEnvironment(InternalSettingsPreparer.java:52) at org.elasticsearch.common.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.createEnv(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:110) at org.elasticsearch.common.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.execute(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:54) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:85) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.main(Command.java:50) at org.elasticsearch.launcher.CliToolLauncher.main(CliToolLauncher.java:64) Caused by: org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentParseException: [27:19] while scanning a simple key in 'reader', line 35, column 1: C:\elasticsearch-8.3.3\data ^ could not find expected ':' in 'reader', line 36, column 1: # Path to log files: It was guesswork on my part, but it seemed to be a valid windows configuration and yes the paths are what I have on my machine. I've tried multiple ways to set the path to my data and logs, but nothing seems to work? Does anyone know how to get this simple setup working? ---

Hi @JamesD_7 Welcome to the community You need to have the `path.data` in the setting... That is the field name... It's commented out in yours `#path.data` Should be ```auto path.data: C:\elasticsearch-8.3.3\data ``` Same for the logs. Technically it should run without changing any settings at all.... You don't need that readiness port either. You have also put in multiple master nodes when you say you're trying to run one. I would start over and not edit anything and then show us what your errors are having.. And then change a little as possible if you're new with elastic. Did you follow the documents? > **[Install Elasticsearch with .zip on Windows | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.3\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.3/zip-windows.html)** ---

Yes, I was trying to follow the docs and no I'm not new to elastic, just new to this version (We used 5x and I've never set it up locally, the admin took care of the configuration so I focused just on queries.) Here is what I got with the default yml file. Also, I put a small CSV file into the data folder and I assume I have to get Kibana started to load that manually? Not sure, but I'm not at that point yet and I never saw the terminal output for the username and password. > C:\elasticsearch-8.3.3\>.\bin\elasticsearch.bat >

Hi Couple things 1. Those are all normal logs including some of those exception but in the end `Cluster health status changed from [RED] to [GREEN]` > [@JamesD\_7](#): > > When I check to see if Elasticsearch is running, I get a dialog prompt for username and password, however, that info never loaded in > the terminal window like the docs mentioned. 1. That is because you already set it up at one time... and it came up once before... at this point you can 1 of 2 things A) Which is what I would suggest: Completely delete all the directories / software etc especially the elasticsearch data directories which should be under the same directory and start from scratch.. using [this guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/zip-windows.html) B) Reset the elastic password see [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/reset-password.html#_examples_8) FInally if you use the defaults elasticsearch will run on https so that would be `https://localhost:9200` And typically you would us curl to access that see [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/zip-windows.html#_check_that_elasticsearch_is_running_2) `curl --cacert %ES_HOME%\config\certs\http_ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200 ` ---

Well I made it to the command prompt information. The I tried to verify that Elasticsearch was running with that curl command. ```auto ``` -\> Elasticsearch security features have been automatically configured! -\> Authentication is enabled and cluster connections are encrypted. -\> Password for the elastic user (reset with `bin/elasticsearch-reset-password -u elastic`): ..........DsFYy -\> HTTP CA certificate SHA-256 fingerprint: etc... ```auto ``` I deleted the previous characters for the password just to be extra safe even though it appears to be randomly generated. // I ran this from a command prompt window as admin: C:\WINDOWS\system32\>curl --cacert %ES\_HOME%\config\certs\http\_ca.crt -u elastic [https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200) Enter host password for user 'elastic': //Put in the full password here that I got. curl: (77) schannel: failed to open CA file '%ES\_HOME%\config\certs\http\_ca.crt': The system cannot find the path specified. // I verified that Elastic setup the certs folder with the certs file: C:\elasticsearch-8.3.3\config\certs I tried to run Kibana next from a command prompt (another window, not as admin)with: .\bin\kibana.bat However, it just seems to hang there. My kibana is standalone that I unzipped to C:\kibana-8.3.3 and ran the command from that path. So am I doing the wrong steps here or I am I missing something else again? ---

I don't know what that means...I just meant that I didn't post the entire password that was generated. I didn't set any windows environment variables for Elastic. I tried this with curl in windows 10 as it's builtin with my windows version: C:\WINDOWS\system32\>curl --cacert C:\elasticsearch-8.3.3\config\certs\http\_ca.crt -u elastic [https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200) Enter host password for user 'elastic': curl: (60) schannel: CertGetCertificateChain trust error CERT\_TRUST\_REVOCATION\_STATUS\_UNKNOWN More details here: [curl - SSL CA Certificates](https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html) curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above. Then I thought I would just verify curl really is installed on windows, which it is. > ```auto > C:\WINDOWS\system32>curl.exe -V > curl 7.83.1 (Windows) libcurl/7.83.1 Schannel > Release-Date: 2022-05-13 > Protocols: dict file ftp ftps http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s smtp smtps telnet tftp > Features: AsynchDNS HSTS IPv6 Kerberos Largefile NTLM SPNEGO SSL SSPI UnixSockets > > ``` So, I don't think I entered the wrong password from the error, but I'm not sure what the error is telling me. The good news, I guess, is I know exactly what files/folders to delete each time I want to rerun Elasticsearch from the last failed attempt. So after I get Elasticsearch started without errors, which is where I'm at now, what is the next step? Is it verify that it's running with curl like I've been trying? Lets get Elastic working first.. Agreed. I'm taking small steps here. ---

No, but I realized I needed to so as I was getting some errors. I'm in the process of doing so. I don't think I did a typo on the password, but I'll try it again. Also, at the kibana login dialog, it's expecting elastic as the username, correct? ---

Hello Stephen, Yes you were correct about putting a clean Kibana version back out. I got into the integrations page and started to install logstash, which I thought would fit my use case? It is, ingest a small csv file in order to run queries against it. So my questions are: for this specific use case, is logstash the best integration module? If so, where do I put the policy file? Per the docs: > Copy this policy to the `elastic-agent.yml` on the host where the Elastic Agent is installed. but I can't find an elastic-agent.yml file in Elastic or Kibana? The intent is to keep it simple, yet functional, and it appears I've failed the simple part. This is my only use case for a while, the only difference is some of the files will have a lot more rows, but still just in the thousands. **Aftermath:** Okay, after much more reading I found this link: [Analyzing Aftershock Data with Elasticsearch and Kibana via CSV Import | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/aftershock-therapy-with-elasticsearch-and-csv-data-import) and the Data Visualizer feature, which is drag n drop. Worked great, so now I'm configuring things to run queries. I should be good to go now. Thank you, James ---

@JamesD_7 Awesome Glad you are up and running! And yes you can do a lot with data visualizer Open a new Thread when you have more questions! Lots of ways to ingest Data - Via REST API - Data Visualizer - Beats - Logstash (BTW logstash does not use a policy file so a little mixing of stuff on that) - Elastic Agent ---
