BlueData - Kibana server is not ready yet

Question

I've followed the instructions to add Kibana to my BlueData 4.0 controller:

• Login to the Controller.
• Execute the command docker exec -it monitoring-<controller_ip> bash, where is the IP address of the Controller.
• Change the permissions of /etc/kibana/kibana.yml to 644.
• Obtain Kibana admin credentials by executing the following command: bdconfig --getallenv | grep bdshared_elasticsearch_admin

The system returns the username and password. For example:

export bdshared_elasticsearch_adminpass='adef3a31-fbec-474d-8b74-a50b3355399f';
export bdshared_elasticsearch_admin='elastic';

• Execute the command service kibana start.
• Open a web browser and navigate to <A.B.C.D>:5610 to access the Kibana interface, where <A.B.C.D> is either the Controller IP address, cluster IP address (if platform HA is enabled), or the IP address of a Gateway host.
• Enter the credentials you obtained in Step 3, above.
• You may now access the Kibana interface.

However, when I try to access the service on the controller A.B.C.D:5610 I get the following error (I have tried for about 15 minutes):

Kibana server is not ready yet

How can I resolve this issue?

Answer 1

From the primary controller (see note below), I tried to connect to elasticsearch:

[centos@ip-10-1-0-242 ~]$ curl localhost:9210
curl: (7) Failed connect to localhost:9210; Connection refused

It returned an error, so I found the epic-monitoring-** service ...

[centos@ip-10-1-0-242 ~]$ docker ps

and restarted it:

[centos@ip-10-1-0-242 ~]$ docker restart 55f607fa361d
55f607fa361d

I then followed the instructions again to enable kibana, and after waiting a few minutes, I was able to login to kibana with the credentials returned by bdconfig --getallenv | grep bdshared_elasticsearch_admin

NOTE:

To find the current primary controller run:

• bdconfig --hainfo, or
• check the BlueData UI Installation page - look for Role: Primary Controller
