Hello,
We have recently purchase our Marvel license, but everytime we restart our
cluster it asks us for the order number again. We use docker and so our
containers are immutable.
Is there a file or something we can change in the filesystem that will bake
the license key into the container?
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
When you restart the cluster, do you also wipe all content? The marvel
license should persist once entered but if you clean the data folder, that
will go away as well.
Cheers,
Boaz

Hi Boaz,
No the data folder is persisted. And with it i have all my cluster and
indices data... but for some reason marvel asks for the license/order
number again.
Is there a file I can check for in my data folder?
Thanks!
Daniel

That's weird. You should for the content of the .marvel-kibana index. That's where it stored when you enter your license info in the UI.
Is the Marvel UI allowed to post back to ES? If that's blocked it may explain things. Normally you will get a message from Marvel instructing you how to add the license from the command line.

Boaz,
.marvel-kibana now has a 'state-2' file inside it. and obv for now since i
didnt restart or do anything of that nature i am not asked for the license
details. I wonder if what I see is that .marvel-kibana is only stored with
one primary and one replica and when i reload the cluster sometimes i
happen to load the nodes first which dont have .marvel-kibana so thats why
i get that question about the license.
Anyways, where would marvel should me how to add the license from the
command line? I'd like to see that cause I haven't run into such a prompt
yet.
Thanks!

The order in which you restart the nodes shouldn't really matter. Try
searching `GET .marvel-kibana/_search` and see that you get the license
document back?

Marvel only shows it if it fails to save it to the cluster. If you want the
command, it's not a problem but please reach out off list with your details.

Hi Boaz. I know this is an old thread but I can't find anything newer and
it seems very related to this issue.
Is there documentation anywhere on how to script installation of the
license initially? We have not yet run Marvel in production and we do not
allow manual steps in our deployment process. We'd like to be able to
deploy Marvel to a completely clean box and have the license already
present at the end of the deploy. Can you point me to an example curl
(dummy values, obviously)?

Hi Joel,
You can block write access to the monitoring cluster marvel is installed
on. When you enter the the license details, Marvel will fail storing that
information in ES and will give you a command you can run manually on the
server (assuming it runs behind a proxy). You can use that command in your
provisioning system.
Cheers,
Boa
