Bitnami ELK

[ez7ezdt]

Describe your issue as much as you can

I have a running bitnami ELK stack running in Hyper-V in AZURE. I exported the VM to be able to run on a standalone PC. Everything worked except when i try to connect to elasticsearch via the web browser i get the message "Kibana server is not ready yet" I have spent days searching for a solution and nothing i do works. I ran the bndiagnostic-0.9.17-linux-x64.run to collect the data bundle, the message at the end said this.....

The diagnostic bundle was uploaded successfully to the Bitnami servers. Please copy the following code:

c3550208-6088-6730-2e43-b120b1afbeb8

And paste it in your Bitnami Support ticket.

Hopefully you can help.

Cheers

Hi @ez7ezdt,

Thanks for using Bitnami. I checked your bndiagnostic information and it looks like your machine is running out of memory, which can cause that the services weren't properly initialized

Display amount of free and used memory in the system

Running: free -m

I also don't know how the export feature in Azure cloud work, but we provide a download link for a virtual-machine in our website. Can you give it a try?

You can get more information on how to get started and how to use the virtual-machine solution from our documentation website at https://docs.bitnami.com/virtual-machine/apps/elk/

Thanks for the prompt response. When i say i exported the VM from AZURE i actually copied the VM files frm Azure to my PC and then created a new VM in Hyper-V manager and switched out the .vhdx and .avhdx file.

I also increased the VM memory to 16Gig and had the same issue.

I have seen your updated VM's on your website but i needed this one in particular as it has a a unique dataset which was injested some time ago.

I will add more memory and upload the bndiagnostic file again if that's ok.

Hi @ez7ezdt,

Thanks for your message. As mentioned in my previous message, I'm afraid I don't know if that export/import method you used properly configured the machine on first boot. Kibana dashboard is password protected for security reasons. You can try to make it public following the steps in the next link

https://docs.bitnami.com/virtual-machine/apps/elk/configuration/disable-kibana-auth/

Can you also try to init our virtual-machine from scratch? I have found an official Elasticsearch tool to import and export data that may be of help for you

https://github.com/elasticsearch-dump/elasticsearch-dump

In case you need to run the bndiagnostic tool again, please run it with sudo so it gets access to all the required files.
