Kibana error: Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. socket hang up

Time:11-15

I am trying to deploy elasticsearch and kibana to kubernetes using this chart and getting this error inside the kibana container, therefore ingress returns 503 error and container is never ready.

Error:

[2022-11-08T12:30:53.321 00:00][ERROR][elasticsearch-service] Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. socket hang up - Local: 10.112.130.148:42748, Remote: 10.96.237.95:9200

Ip adress 10.96.237.95 is a valid elasticsearch service address, and port is right.

When i am doing curl to elasticsearch from inside the kibana container, it successfully returns a response.

Am i missing something in my configurations?

UPD: tried it with other image version (8.4.1), nothing has changed, i am getting the same error. By the way, logstash is successfully shipping logs to this elasticsearch instance, so i think problem is in kibana.

CodePudding user response:

You need to provide the self signed CA for Elasticsearch to Kibana in kibana.yml

elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: "/path/cert.ca"

You can test by setting

elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode: "none"

But that is not recommended for production.

CodePudding user response:

Figured it out. It was a complete pain in the ass. I hope these tips will help others:

  1. xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled should be set to false. I can't find another way around it, but if you do i'd be glad to hear any advices. As i see it, you don't need security for http layer since kibana connects to elastic via transport layer (correct me if i am wrong). Therefore xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled should be still set to true, but xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled should be set to false. (don't forget to change your protocol field for readinessProbe to http, and also change protocol for elasticsearch in kibana chart to http.
  2. ELASTIC_USERNAME env variable is pointless in elasticsearch chart, only password is used, user is always elastic
  3. ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME in kibana chart should be actually set to kibana_systems user with according password for that user
