Yep.. right. I realise that.
I did add the relevant JAVA_OPTS values for 17 compatibility. I also upgraded to 1.5.2 ES. What seemed to be part of the issue, some part of this reset the 'number of replicas' to 1 on the second node I updated. Weird.. but fixed. The Browser part of head doesn't work still... but that cold be a local issue...
However, in amonst all my installing an uninstalling, I now have a .watches index that cant be deleted, but the watcher index has been deleted.
So I now get a
curl -XGET 'http://awse-devmysqlproxy01:9200/_watcher/stats?pretty'
{
"error" : "LicenseExpiredException[license expired for feature [watcher]]",
"status" : 401
}
error. Has this been reported already. Seems that the plugin cant access the watcher index (because it isn't there)... but also cant install it, because the .watches index wont go either.
I am feeling a tad foolish... which is not normal for me
