Hello everyone,

I am trying to install the x_pack on elasticsearch i've followed every instructions in this guide
I set up the elasticsearch.yml file as it says , I restart elasticsearch and in one line I get this:

[2017-12-07T09:36:35,987][ERROR][o.e.x.m.c.i.IndexStatsCollector] [9njwqLj] collector [index-stats] failed to collect data

And it stop right there, So i continued to the next step , and execute this command:

\bin\x-pack>setup-passwords interactive

And i get this :

'"C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\6.0.0\bin\x-pack..\elasticsearch-env.bat"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

In an other topic it says that the x-pach-env.bat was missing but I checked and it's there.

Could you help me please

Best Regards

Hello,

Are you running this on windows?

If so, you need to run setup-passwords.bat instead of setup-passwords.

3

yes I am on windows , i have the same results "C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\6.0.0\bin\x-pack..\elasticsearch-env.bat"' n’est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne
ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes.

4

Can you paste the content of your setup-passwords.bat here?

5

@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
setlocal enableextensions

call "%~dp0..\elasticsearch-env.bat" || exit /b 1

call "%~dp0x-pack-env.bat" || exit /b 1

endlocal

Everything looks good in there, it's the same as mine that works. Did you install Elasticsearch via the MSI package?

7

No when i tried to install via the msi package it returns an error occured so i installed it with the zip file

8

I'm trying to reproduce that error locally now. In the meantime, can you confirm that you followed the same steps that I usually do:

  1. From the bin folder of elasticsearch I run: elasticsearch-plugin.bat install x-pack
  2. After that is done, i start Elasticsearch (from elasticsearch.bat in the case of the zip version)
  3. From the bin\x-pack folder I run setup-passwords.bat interactive

After this it should work just fine. And it shouldn't matter if you do it from Cmd or Powershell.

So i install x-pack on elasticsearch and kibana with this command elasticsearch-plugin.bat install x-pack the same with kibana kibana-plugin.bat install x-pack

then i generate certificate certgen command i save it into the config directory
then i modified the elasticsearch.yml and add those line :
xpack.ssl.key: certs/${node.name}/${node.name}.key (path to my certificate)
xpack.ssl.certificate: certs/${node.name}/${node.name}.crt
xpack.ssl.certificate_authorities: certs/ca/ca.crt
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true

after that i restarted elasticsearch end execute the setup_passwords command

I can't manage to reproduce this issue locally. Can you give more details on it?
I tried with 6.0.1 and Windows Server 2012 and Windows 10, with both the MSI and the zip package.

Can you also make sure that elasticsearch-env.bat is present in the bin folder of Elasticsearch?
If you unzip Elasticsearch again in a new place and do the steps that I mentioned, does it work?
