Kibana/Elasticsearch version mismatch

madmaze commented 7 years ago

by default the version of ES being installed, v 1.4.4, is not compatible with the version of Kibana that is being installed

Any chance that we'll see a release when/if a fix is made for this? :cake:

Hi @boldandbusted -- elkstack is due for an update, based on the latest dependencies. I don't really have a time estimate though. I'd be glad to review PRs if you make an updates and want to contribute them back. Thanks!

Just as a head's up from my deep-dive yesterday:

I had some fun with berks stalling while trying to figure out dependencies, resolved itself at some point, was probably just my local environment.
the nginx cookbook which kibana depends on seems to be broke, you'll need to load chef_nginx to fix that problem, if you point your Berksfile at this branch for kibana it should work. Something like this:
```
cookbook 'kibana_lwrp', git: 'git://github.com/evertrue/chef-kibana.git', branch: 'evertrue/eherot/switch_to_community_maintained_nginx_cookbook'
```
if you set the Elasticsearch version to something current, i tried 2.4.1, the plugin installs will fail. As far as I can tell it comes down to a syntax change in how the plugin installer is called. plugin install foo vs plugin -install foo

I ended up going with Digital Ocean's on-click ELK installs, which isn't perfect, but for my needs is currently sufficient.
