Can't start Kibana after installing ROR

1

Hi.
I have ELK 8.11.0
I set plugin and patch on esearch
./bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///u/readonlyrest-1.53.0_es8.11.0.zip
and patched Esearch
/app/esearch/elasticsearch-8.11.0/jdk/bin/java -jar plugins/readonlyrest/ror-tools.jar patch

Installed plugin in kibana
./bin/kibana-plugin install file:///u/readonlyrest_kbn_universal-1.53.0_es8.11.0.zip
and patched it.
./node/bin/node plugins/readonlyrestkbn/ror-tools.js patch

Try starting Kibana and get this error:

FATAL Error: Unable to complete saved object migrations for the [.kibana] index: Migration failed because some documents were found which use unknown saved object types:

  • “apm-telemetry:apm-telemetry” (type: “apm-telemetry”)

To proceed with the migration you can configure Kibana to discard unknown saved objects for this migration.

could you please show us your kibana.yml file?

@Dzuming are you able to advise sth?
AFAIK we don’t support officially APM telemetry. @kpetrov54 I guess you used it before installing ROR?

It seems like there is an issue unrelated to the KBN ROR plugin that is causing problems during migration. Have you tried discarding any unknown saved objects? Resolve migration failures | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic

I don’t do any migration.
I have small installation of ELK, 1 node - kibana, Elastic + logstash.
Decided connect it to internal ldap with ROR plugin.
So I copyed it to my local WSL enviroment. Started. All works correct same as on the server.

After thigs just try on local installation add ROR to my ELK and get this message.

We don’t use APM metrics in our ELK. But AFAIK it is basic in ELK.
