LogStash::Error: Don't know how to handle `Java::JavaLang::IllegalStateException` for `PipelineAction::Create<main>`

Need help troubleshooting logstash java issue, it was working fine until a while ago when it started throwing up this error below:

not sure how to go about troubleshooting this issue, seek your kind assistance.

Can you check the system log?

Since the systemd service is failing, you will have some more information in the system logs.

Try to restart logstash and check /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog for anything related to the logstash service.

hi @leandrojmp , this error was showing in /var/log/messages

[2023-10-22T03:35:45,193][WARN ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch][main][73edd67285d1e41a35194e6c912a1274694a61fa137ef72a42edbd71dfc2ccb3] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=>400, :action=>["index", {:_id=>nil, :_index=>"filebeat-2023.10.21", :routing=>nil, :_type=>"_doc"}, #<LogStash::Event:0x285a923>], :response=>{"index"=>{"_index"=>"filebeat-2023.10.21", "_type"=>"_doc", "_id"=>nil, "status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"validation_exception", "reason"=>"Validation Failed: 1: this action would add [2] total shards, but this cluster currently has [1000]/[1000] maximum shards open;"}}}}

leandrojmp · October 27, 2023, 7:15pm

This is a completely different error.

On your first post you shared an error that shows that Logstash is not starting, the error you shared now, which would also be present in Logstash error logs, is an indexing error because you reached the maximum number of shards allowed in your cluster, this would mean that your Logstash is at least running.

It is not clear if you are having issues starting Logstash or not.

About that second error, you need to remove some indices from your cluster, you can increase the number of shards allowed, but this is just a temporary fix.

To increase the number of shards per node you can use the following requests on Kibana Dev Tools:

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent" : {
    "cluster.routing.allocation.total_shards_per_node" : 2000 
  }
}

But keep in mind that this is not a definitive fix, you need to remove some old indices and implement a Index Lifecycle Policy as well.

Hi @leandrojmp ,thanks for the reply. I tried deleting indexes but it still didn't work. I did journalct --since "1 min ago" and this showed up:

Yeah, I just noticed that the second log you shared was not recent, it was from October 22nd.

This is probably the reason, you are using persistent queues, but your disk does not have enough space to allocate some space for the persistent queue.

You need to free up space on your disk.

fae · October 29, 2023, 6:53am

yup that was it, all I did was yum clean all and it's working again, thanks @leandrojmp
