There is a problem with this saved object

thoth · February 10, 2019, 4:09pm

I'm getting very inconsistent results from my elastic stack.

Saved searches, visualizations, and dashboards all sporadically return:

There is a problem with this saved object

This most prevalent when I have two computers open at once. I create a saved search, and then a visualization from that search, and then a dashboard including that visualization. Then open up kibana on a second computer and load the dashboard if it is there, which after many reloads it might appear, but there will be the above warning about missing saved objects, whereas simultaneously on the first computer it will work fine.

Any ideas about what is going wrong in this instance?

the whole stack was brought up using the example here:

github.com

openebs/openebs/blob/master/k8s/demo/efk/kibana/kibana-rc.yaml

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: kibana
  namespace: default
  labels:
    component: kibana
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
     component: kibana
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        component: kibana
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: kibana
        image: cfontes/kibana-xpack-less:5.5.0

although I did update the versions to 6.5.4

Hello,

When you have the whole stack in the same machine - Kibana connects as localhost. I see that in the config file you have used: 'http://127.0.0.1:9200'

You need to configure Kibana's ip if you want to use it from different machines.

`server.name:`
**Default: "your-hostname"**  A human-readable display name that identifies this Kibana instance.

`server.port:`
**Default: 5601**  Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.

Unfortunately that is not the issue, I have swapped out the IP in that example for the address that is exposed in the kubernetes cluster:

 k get svc elasticsearch

value: 'http://10.0.23.243:9200'
