Improper configuration "SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty"

Hi,

I ran an update from the nighthawk response repo and when I rebooted, I get this:

Ideas? My Kibana also say "No default index pattern".

Hi,

The update package was for older version which should not have applied to this version, I will check what went wrong on that.

In regards to your current problem, probably because of update from nighthwak repo, DJANGO secret key was removed. step_1: Open file /opt/nighthawk/web/nighthawk/settings.py in your favorite editor step_2: Append value to SECRET_KEY e.g. SECRET_KEY = 'very large random character'

In regards to Kibana, Kibana isn't initialized with default index, you will have to set index as investigation*. (We will automatically initialize in next version, that we are working on)

If all fails as workaround, install and disable nighthhawk repo and update the base OS

Yea, it looks like the update wiped out my settings.py config file. Even if I paste the settings.py GitHub source code and reboot, Nighthawk service still shows status 'active=exited' and I'm unable to use the Nighthawk WebUI itself. I'll do a reinstall. Thanks.

Hi espressobeanie,

Did you end up doing a reinstall?
