[kibana 6.5.1] Reporting fails with elasticcloud endpoint (but not elasticsearch selfhosted)

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello,

I am connecting my self hosted kibana to an elastic cloud endpoint. I know that elastic cloud is shipped with a kibana, but for some reasons, I have to use my own kibana. Unfortunately, the reporting keeps failing with:

Here is my configuration. Can you help me? If i find the fix, I will be able to migrate to the elastic cloud

root@int:~# cat /etc/kibana/kibana.yml | grep -v ^# | grep -v ^$

Hey @dao,

I see you have verbose logging enabled. Can you post an excerpt from your kibana logs when the reporting job fails? Kibana should be writing errors to the log indicating what happened.

Hello Larry,

here are the logs. I have the har (from my browser, but it is too large for the discuss)

(Attachment Log kibana int.flightwatching.com.txt is missing)

Thanks Olivier -- it looks like the Kibana log failed to upload for whatever reason. Can you retry?

Keeps failing the same way, it is the case for a long time:

Hello Larry, any clue?

7

Without the Kibana server logs, it's really tricky to debug this any further. Can you try following the troubleshooting steps at the bottom of this page for your particular error message? https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/reporting-troubleshooting.html#_literal_caught_error_spawning_chromium_literal

Hello Larry,

I tried to follow the procedure for troubleshoot, and it seems that the script is OK:

root@int:~# ls -latr /var/lib/kibana/headless_shell-linux/

total 111124

Hello Larry,

I thought I sent the logs to you. But it seems that the post failed because they are too large.

How can I send them to you?

10

I don't need the full log file, but if there are relevant portions of the log when Kibana tries to generate the report, that would be useful to post.

here is the request (to be continued):

There's been some recently discovered packages that might be missing in your operating-system (which would also be good to know for the purposes of diagnosing). You might try setting your log events to:

logging.events.logs: ['info', 'warning', 'error', 'fatal', 'reporting']

After that is done, run your report and see what this logfile contains:

/path/to/kibana/data/headless_shell-linux/chrome_debug.log

This is the dump of chromium's logs, and there might be an indicator here as to what the issue is. My current guess is there is a missing system package.

Hello Joel,

I have set the logging conf as mentionned and retried the reporting. Still failing but no log file for chrome_debug.log...

Here is the log for kibana. We have a Creating browser driver factoryand then Failure occurred on job jqhuxi0q07gdf4f1afcl7uto: Error: Caught error spawning Chromium...

Do you have enough information with:

Error: Caught error spawning Chromium 
at Observable.Rx.Observable.create [as _subscribe] (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/x-pack/plugins/reporting/server/browsers/chromium/driver_factory/index.js:56:24)

Hello,

could you find anything interesting with the logs?

I have added a log line in the source and I have this. Does it rings a bell (debian 9)?

Failed to launch chrome!

/var/lib/kibana/headless_shell-linux/headless_shell: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

TROUBLESHOOTING: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md

AH, this is perfect! libnss3 is telling sign that you need to install the following package: nss for this to work. Depending on your platform/OS it's as simple as installing: sudo apt-get install -y libnss3.

This command might change depending on your distro (just a heads up), and what package manager it uses.

@dao what line did you alter to get that message?

YEEEESSS! it works now! I think the error message in the logs should be more explicit (the error is not logged).

To find the problem, I have added a few log lines in the code of kibana:

/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/x-pack/plugins/reporting/server/browsers/chromium/driver_factory/index.js

      try {
	const args = JSON.stringify({
		userDataDir, executablePath: this.binaryPath, args: chromiumArgs
	});
	this.logger.info(`We are IN with ${args}`);
        chromium = await puppeteer.launch({
          userDataDir,
          executablePath: this.binaryPath,
          ignoreHTTPSErrors: true,
          args: chromiumArgs,
          env: {
            TZ: browserTimezone
          },
        });
	this.logger.info(`chromium lanchedi IN`);
        page = await chromium.newPage();
	      this.logger.info(`page generated IN`);
      } catch (err) {
        observer.error(new Error(`Caught error spawning Chromium`));
	      this.logger.error("IN");
	      this.logger.error(err);
        return;
      }
