Typeerror: cannot read property 'message' of null watcher

SIJIA_CHEN · January 4, 2018, 2:36am

Hi,

I got this error when I was trying to create a watcher by using email action. Weird thing is that each time I tried to create the email action watcher, it not only gave me the error, but also kicked me out of the website and I had to log in again. I checked the log and seemed like the kibana was forced to restart itself for no reason. It was no problem with log watcher setup though.

Anyone has ideas what is wrong with my kibana setting? Thanks!

Hi @SIJIA_CHEN,

You're absolutely right in that it shouldn't cause that behavior. We have a fix coming for this particular issue and should be available in the next 6.1 release.

Thanks,
Chris

We just ran into this error today on 6.1.1. I checked the release notes and did not see it mentioned. Did this make it into a release yet?

Found it, released in 6.1.2: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.1/xkb-6.1.2.html
