Hi Ganesh2303,

If you do the following what do you get:

curl -XGET http://xxxx:9200/ -> this gives you details on your ES cluster

Or using postman or any tool or even curl

curl -XGET http://xxxx:9200/_cluster/health -> this gives you more details on your ES cluster, for instance number of nodes, etc.

This is a start to see if your ES cluster is configured correctly.

Hope it helps

@rulanitee
please find the reply of the above command which you mentioned,

curl -XGET http://xxxx:9200

{
  "name" : "node1",
  "cluster_name" : "sub_prod_cluster",
  "cluster_uuid" : "_na_",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "5.2.1",
    "build_hash" : "db0d481",
    "build_date" : "2017-02-09T22:05:32.386Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "6.4.1"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

curl -XGET http://xxxxx:9200/_cluster/health
{"cluster_name":"sub_prod_cluster","status":"red","timed_out":false,"number_of_nodes":1,"number_of_data_nodes":1,"active_primary_shards":0,"active_shards":0,"relocating_shards":0,"initializing_shards":0,"unassigned_shards":0,"delayed_unassigned_shards":0,"number_of_pending_tasks":0,"number_of_in_flight_fetch":0,"task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis":0,"active_shards_percent_as_number":"NaN"}

Hi Ganesh,

Thanks for the response. If I am not mistaken, this is a cluster with just one node. Can you do the following in the elasticsearch.yml config:

node.local=true

restart elasticsearch service and check the health again.

You can check here for more info:

Hope it works

Sorry for late reply when i try with node.local: true i faced issue to startup elastisearch itself,

 in 'reader', line 53, column 1:
    node.local= true
    ^
could not find expected ':'
 in 'reader', line 54, column 1:
    # You can exploit these settings ...
    ^
];
Likely root cause: while scanning a simple key
 in 'reader', line 53, column 1:
    node.local= true
    ^
could not find expected ':'
 in 'reader', line 54, column 1:
    # You can exploit these settings ...

And one more thing now i started with cluster eventhough its showing same error in kibana.
Is that any setting have set false for xpack, bcoz i read one article by default it was set to true am i wrong mean please correct me

Hi Ganesh,

If you are still having issues, can you try the following:

restart elasticsearch

check the logs and see if all is good

-> /var/log/elasticsearch/your_cluster_name.log and /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log

Let me know if there is an error or issue logged

Regards
