Elasticsearch 6.3 cluster not coming up after installing latest plugin

Hi,

I have downloaded installed 6.3 elasticsearch and the plugin. I created readonlyrest.yml file in the same directory where elasticsearch.yml resides. I am running a 3 node cluster in my vm. I made the following changes in the readonlyrest.yml file;

readonlyrest:
  enable: false
  access_control_rules:
    - name: admin
      indices: ["*"]
      kibana_access: admin
      auth_key_sha256: 8da193366e1554c08b2870c50f737b9587c3372b656151c4a96028af26f51334
    - name: readonly
      indices: ["*"]
      kibana_access: ro_strict
      actions: ["indices:data/read/*"]
      auth_key_sha256: d4663826bbad2aef89ef8ec5beca0b50685064f6eb70f3018bb179320fe3c60b

After this, I restarted my cluster, but elasticsearch is not accessible. My cluster is fresh new without any indices.

I am unable to access my nodes now. How can I fix this?

Thank you.

HI @gitime with Elasticsearch 6.3.x they pre-installed X-pack, so you need to disable at least x-pack security.

Append this to elasticsearch.yml

xpack.security.enabled: false 

And if you are using Kibana, download the one without x-pack installed: https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana-oss

Hi @sscarduzio , Ok, I can use Kibana OSS. I would like to use free x-pack monitoring feature. How can I enable it in oss?

Than you.

I don’t think you can unfortunately. I am currently struggling to make ROR work in non-OSS Kibana, but for now I cannot disable x-pack security module for some reason.

edit: in order for ROR to work with 6.3.x and x-pack, you need to add xpack.security.disabled: true to BOTH elasticsearch.yml and kibana.yml

Can you try @gitime?

Hi,

I have ES 6.6.1 with ROR 1.17.0. Getting the same error:

[2019-03-05T15:22:22,859][INFO ][t.b.r.c.s.SettingsPoller ] [node1] [CLUSTERWIDE SETTINGS] Cluster not ready...

xpack.security.enabled: false
is addedd to elasticsearch.yml

pack.security.disabled: true - is not recognized command

What error do you mean?

Where did you read this form? We always recommended xpack.security.enabled: false
