I am using the following compose file. My objective is to create the kibana dashboard automatically when the docker container starts hence I created customize image for kibana. ```auto version: '3' services: elasticsearch: image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4 container_name: elasticsearch environment: - "discovery.type=single-node" - "xpack.security.enabled=false" - "xpack.monitoring.enabled=false" volumes: - esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data:rw ports: - 9200:9200 networks: - elk restart: unless-stopped kibana: depends_on: - elasticsearch #image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.2.4 image: ervikrant06/kibana:6.2.4.v1 environment: - "xpack.monitoring.enabled=false" networks: - elk ports: - 5601:5601 restart: unless-stopped command: sh bp-dashboard.sh logstash: image: ervikrant06:logstashv3 #image: docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:6.2.4 depends_on: - elasticsearch networks: - elk environment: - "xpack.security.enabled=false" - "INPUT1=/var/tmp/log" - "xpack.monitoring.enabled=false" restart: unless-stopped #volumes: #- /tmp/logstash/:/var/tmp/log #- /root/elk-logparser/pipeline/:/usr/share/logstash/pipeline/ volumes: esdata: driver: local networks: elk: ``` Following is the dockerfile used to create kibana image: ```auto # cat kibana/Dockerfile FROM docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.2.4 ADD . /usr/share/kibana ``` content of the script which is used to issue curl POST command. ```auto # cat bp-dashboard.sh #!/bin/bash sleep 30 curl -XPOST kibana:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/import -H 'kbn-xsrf:true' -H 'Content-type:application/json' -d @/usr/share/kibana/bp-dashboard.json ``` I have already verified that after running the container using docker run command I am able to run the script inside the container without any issue. This is what i have seen on the screen after running docker-compose up. ```auto kibana_1 | % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current kibana_1 | Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0curl: (7) Failed connect to kibana:5601; Connection refused kibana_1 | % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current kibana_1 | Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0curl: (7) Failed connect to kibana:5601; Connection refused kibana_1 | % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current kibana_1 | Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0curl: (7) Failed connect to kibana:5601; Connection refused ``` Anyone can please help me to point what I am doing wrong here? ---

I think the recommended approach is to have a short lived container outside Kibana for this. See this example [https://github.com/swarmee/projects/tree/master/elastic-stack-6.3](https://github.com/swarmee/projects/tree/master/elastic-stack-6.3) ---

Many thanks John for your comment. I tried your suggestion and modified my docker-swarm file referring your one. Despite of adding the dependency still it's trying to start the sidecar container first and later on kibana and es. ```auto # docker-compose up Creating network "elk-logparser_elk" with the default driver Creating volume "elk-logparser_esdata" with local driver Creating elasticsearch ... done Creating logstash ... done Creating kibana ... done Creating load-sample-data ... done Attaching to elasticsearch, logstash, kibana, load-sample-data logstash | 2018/07/09 02:25:56 Setting 'xpack.monitoring.enabled' from environment. logstash | OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: If the number of processors is expected to increase from one, then you should configure the number of parallel GC threads appropriately using -XX:ParallelGCThreads=N load-sample-data | % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current load-sample-data | Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0curl: (7) Failed to connect to kibana port 5601: Connection refused load-sample-data exited with code 7 ``` Here is my modified docker-compose.yml file. ```auto version: '3' services: elasticsearch: image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4 container_name: elasticsearch environment: - "discovery.type=single-node" - "xpack.security.enabled=false" - "xpack.monitoring.enabled=false" volumes: - esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data:rw ports: - 9200:9200 networks: - elk restart: unless-stopped kibana: container_name: kibana depends_on: - elasticsearch image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.2.4 environment: - "xpack.monitoring.enabled=false" networks: - elk ports: - 5601:5601 restart: unless-stopped logstash: image: ervikrant06:logstashv3 container_name: logstash #image: docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:6.2.4 depends_on: - elasticsearch networks: - elk environment: - "xpack.security.enabled=false" - "INPUT1=/var/tmp/log" - "xpack.monitoring.enabled=false" restart: unless-stopped #volumes: #- /tmp/logstash/:/var/tmp/log #- /root/elk-logparser/pipeline/:/usr/share/logstash/pipeline/ configure_stack: depends_on: - kibana container_name: load-sample-data #build: ./load-sample-data image: elk-logparser_configure_stack command: ['/bin/bash', '-c', 'cat /tmp/sample/bp-dashboard.sh | tr -d "\r" | bash'] networks: - elk volumes: esdata: driver: local networks: elk: ``` i am not able to understand why it's not honoring the depends\_on condition mentioned in compose. If it then I believe everything will work fine. ```auto ``` ---
