Retrying failed action with response code: 500

[Debasish_Rath]

Hi All,

My config file was working in logstash before installing XPACK.

After installation, I am getting below error in Logstash.

retrying failed action with response code: 500 ({"type"=>"illegal_state_exception", "reason"=>"There are no external requests known to support wildcards that don't support replacing their indices"})

Please share you logstash output config
Looks like you are using wildcrads in index name

output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "https://localhost:9200"
user => "elastic"
password => "elastic_user_password"
index => "logstash-*"
}
}

Make sure to use correct index name, like this

output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "https://localhost:9200"
user => "elastic"
password => "elastic_user_password"
index => "logstash-%{YYYY-MM-DD}"
}
}

@ylasri

index => "logstash-%{YYYY-MM-DD}"

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR,,, It is working. I need one more help. Can you please let me know how to generate the permanent licence for XPACK and is it opensource.
