Migrating from ES 2.4 to 5.x

I am trying to install the migration tool and that seemed to work fine. However, I cannot seem to connect to the host with localhost:9200/_plugin/elasticsearch-migration I get a 404 error, but ES is running. If I try to go into Kibana, I see these errors:

There are no errors in ES logs. Localhost replaced the ES server IP address. I am trying to do the remote check, so I had to add this to the yml file. For the allow-origin, I put the IP of the ES host. Is this correct?

http.cors.enabled:      true
http.cors.allow-origin: # the hostname or a regex which matches the hostname

I found an article saying to remove the http.cors entries. This allowed me to see the Kibana UI, but I still cannot seem to get the migration tool to come up at localhost:9200/_plugin/elasticsearch-migration

If you are running your cluster not on localhost did you try <ip_address>:9200/_plugin/elasticsearch-migration?

Yes, I get a 404 error when I try that. If I remove the /_plugin then it returns some data on Elasticsearch like the version, lucene version, etc.

Here is my Elasticsearch yml file. Maybe something is missing, but I don't think so. The only thing uncommented is the "network.host" and "https.cors.allow". Everything else in the file is commented out.

Hi,

Can you comment out/hash the two parameters you have uncommented. The network.host defaults to localhost. restart your server and then provide the output of http://localhost:9200/_cat

[root@localhost ~]# curl http://localhost:9200/_cat
=^.^=
/_cat/allocation
/_cat/shards
/_cat/shards/{index}
/_cat/master
/_cat/nodes
/_cat/indices
/_cat/indices/{index}
/_cat/segments
/_cat/segments/{index}
/_cat/count
/_cat/count/{index}
/_cat/recovery
/_cat/recovery/{index}
/_cat/health
/_cat/pending_tasks
/_cat/aliases
/_cat/aliases/{alias}
/_cat/thread_pool
/_cat/plugins
/_cat/fielddata
/_cat/fielddata/{fields}
/_cat/nodeattrs
/_cat/repositories
/_cat/snapshots/{repository}

What do you get for localhost:9200/_plugin/elasticsearch-migration?

[root@localhost ~]# curl http://localhost:9200/_plugin/elasticsearch-migration
<head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=/_plugin/elasticsearch-migration/"></head>

So you don't get no more HTTP 404. So you can continue with your migration?

Well it's a CentOS machine, so there is no GUI. When I try to access the server:9200/_plugin/elasticsearch-migration from my desktop, I get a 404. I need to access to GUI to do the things within it, like reindex and the various checks to ensure something won't break. I am just not sure where the issue is here :confused:

You need to get the centos machines ipv4 address ip a|grep inet, and set it for network.host ensure any firewall or iptables are turned off and restart elasticsearch to then access http://serverIPaddress:9200 via your desktop on the same LAN.

I had the server's IP set in the network.host line, but was asked to comment it out earlier. Maybe there was some miscommunication going on there. When I go to ip:9200, I was always able to see some data, but when I append /_plugin/elasticsearch-migration is when I get the 404.

IP4/6 tables are off and all firewall traffic is permitted internally. I can ssh to elasticsearch fine and Kibana works fine as well. Kibana is on a different VM on the same host and IP range.

This is what I get when i just use IP:9200

{
  "name" : "Fin",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "cluster_uuid" : "cPC9CNI6Si-pv-fh36VJgg",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "2.4.6",
    "build_hash" : "5376dca9f70f3abef96a77f4bb22720ace8240fd",
    "build_timestamp" : "2017-07-18T12:17:44Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "5.5.4"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Hello there. Has there been any update to this?

Hi,

You can try to tunnel ssh to access via browser. From your desktop machine you could try:

ssh -L 9999:localhost:9200 youruser@ipofyourcentos

Then in your desktop browser try http://localhost:9999

Maybe it helps

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am still getting a 404. Like I mentioned earlier, I can get some info if I use localhost:9200, but when I append /_plugin/elasticsearch-migration, I get a 404. Is there some step left out in the migration tool after this section?

Installation
To install, run the following command in your Elasticsearch home directory on a *nix system:

./bin/plugin install https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-migration/releases/download/v2.0.4/elasticsearch-migration-2.0.4.zip

The only thing listed after that is to open the browser.

I installed this in the directory /usr/share/elasticsearch where I successfully ran the above command. I just removed it and reinstalled it, but still no luck.

Thanks

Ok, so after I tried installing the migration plugin the second time and still couldn't get anything to work, I restarted elasticsearch and got the following error:

Starting elasticsearch: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not load plugin descriptor for existing plugin [elasticsearch-migration]. Was the plugin built before 2.0?

I seen the access denied error so I tried to chmod 777 that file, but I'm still getting that error :confused:

So I fixed the permission issue along the way and now elasticsearch is starting, but I still cannot access elasticsearch-migration. I tried to edit /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/elasticsearch-migration/_site/index.html and substituted localhost with the server's IP, but still no luck lol
