Kibana Metrics – 500 Internal Server Error

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

When i'm trying to access to the metrics page (https://kibana-elk.pxdtools.io:5601/app/metrics) on Kibana i have an error 500 showing on the right bottom corner, and i can't use this page, i've got the "There is no data to display." message.

I changed the log to verbose on kibana config but i dont have many information, i only have these two logs:

My problem seems similar to this one: Viewing Metrics -- 500 Internal Server Error
but there is no fix.

Here is the installation detail:
3 nodes elasticsearch with license/xpack/security installed
1 kibana on different server with security
1 separate logstash and many others filebeat/metricbeat clients.

all stack is running on elk 7.8

i can correctly see metricbeat data from discover page.

I'm experiencing the same issue (ELK 7.8):

Problem solved,

This problem appears because of the index template, in my case i use logstash as intermediate between metricbeat and elasticsearch, so it seems that the existing template wasn't good,

I had to manually export the template on my metricbeat client server and then manually import it
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-template.html#load-template-manually-alternate

metricbeat export template > metricbeat.template.json
curl -k  -u elastic:mypass -XPUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://PIXID-ELKMASTER1:9200/_template/metricbeat-new -d@metricbeat.template.json

Then i stopped logstash service, deleted the old metricbeat index template, deleted my metricbeat index,

When i started logstash the metricbeat index had correctly been created by the pipeline configuration, and i do no longer have the 500 error on the kibana metrics page.

Hope it will help
