Unable to create new indices

ganessen23 · August 1, 2018, 6:15am

Hello,

My present scenario is that I am using ELK on a linux machine and it turns out that my trial license has been expired since April 27, 2018 7:19 PM MUT, but I am still able to send logs files/data to my previously created index.

But I realized that now I am unable to send logs file to a new index to be created. My question would be: Is it due to the fact that my trial license has been expired, which is preventing me to create new indices?

Note: No error found in Logstash logs.

Error/warning in Elasticsearch log:

Kind regards,
Ganessen.

Please do not post screenshots of log files. They cannot be searched and are difficult to read on mobile devices.

Just copy-and-paste the text content, and format as a code block (use the </> button, or surround the text with "```" markers).

An expired license does not prevent you from creating new indicies, but it will block some cluster APIs that Logstash may be depending upon.

get a new license at

ganessen23 · August 1, 2018, 10:00am

An expired license does not prevent you from creating new indicies, but it will block some cluster APIs that Logstash may be depending upon.

Hello Tim,
Is there a way to identify which cluster APIs are being blocked that Logstash depends on.
If that is not the root of problem, how should i proceed to identify why the new index is not being created.
(in my case, logs are not revealing anything).

Thanks in advance.
Ganessen.

Hello Andy,

get a new license at
Register | Elastic 2

I did update my expired trial license to a basic one, but still I am unable to create a new index.
Any thoughts about that?

Ganessen.

TimV · August 2, 2018, 7:44am

I think you need to diagnose this a bit more.
Is it that you are unable to create any index? Or is it that logstash cannot create indices? Or ...

I would suggest you start with trying to use the Create Index API via curl and see what happens.
