.readonlyrest index not created

1

Hi,

We’re trying to set up an Elasticsearch cluster using docker-compose; I have the full cluster up and running now, but it’s using the readonlyrest.yml file because it didn’t create the .readonlyrest index.

Do you have any idea what might cause the .readonlyrest index not being created on initializing the ReadonlyREST plugin?

Elasticsearch version: 8.15.1
RoR plugin version: 1.59.0

Regards & thanks,

Hi @abuising

Maybe you have configured readonlyrest.force_load_from_file: true in elasticsearch.yml?

If not, could you please send us logs from the ES instance lanuch?

Hi @coutoPL,

I sent the logs in a dm.

Thanks & regards,

Everything seems to be ok. Please take a look at the diagram.
Now you can log in to ROR Kibana settings, modify and save the new settings. The index should be created and ROR ES will be reloaded with the new settings. You can restart the ES to see that this time the settings will be loaded from the index.

Hi @coutoPL,

I see what the problem was. I wasn’t allowed to write the .readonlyrest index without a license key loaded.
I got an error while saving the ReadonlyREST config in an additional Kibana container that I need to be Enterprise or Pro to be able to do that, which I wasn’t on my local test cluster.

Thanks & regards,
Arjen
