X-Pack Security Not Working

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
2

It really doesn't look like x-pack is installed on your elasicsearch cluster.

Can you follow these steps:

  • Remove the xpack.security.enabled line from config/elasticsearch.yml (you don't need it, security is enabled by default once x-pack is installed)
  • Run this from your elasticsearch installation directory (which will show which plugins are installed on the filesystem)
bin/elasticsearch-plugin list --verbose
  • Start Elasticsearch
  • And then run this (which will show which plugins are actually running on the cluster)
curl 'http://localhost:9200/_cat/plugins?v&pretty'
  • And run this (which tests the most minimal of x-pack functionality)
curl 'http://localhost:9200/_xpack?categories=features&pretty'
