Nagios Support Forum

I have been trying to stand up the latest version of Nagios Log server for several months. I had an open case on this in the past, but was told that because the server was using SELINUX that this was probably what was causing not getting the application working. Well, SELINUX is now disabled on this server ->

[myuid@myserver usr]$ getenforce
Disabled

I am still unable to get the app working. The problem seems to be that the elasticsearch service refuses to come up. See below.

[nyuid@myserver system]$ sudo systemctl status elasticsearch.service

Any ideas??? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello @HIINNS

Thanks for reaching out so we can tackle this issue and get it resolved for you.

Want to see the /var/log/elasticsearch logs so we can see what is going on:
Please [PM] me the compressed logs found in /tmp/.

Thanks,
Perry

Requested file in PM.

Hello @HIINNS

Could you please re-send the PM, it did not make the trip.

Thanks,
Perry

I have place the tar.gz file into PM several times. Is it still not making it. I can only surmise that my installation is preventing it from being sent this way.

Hello @HIINNS

Thanks for following up and getting the logs over to me, after reviewing on the logs we see that there really isn't anything that jumps out but want to have you check and verify the following:

I have been doing some investigation as well. From executing the sudo systemctl status elasticsearch.status command I was able to determine that the /usr/share/elasticsearch directory was not created and the ExecStart=/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/systemd-entrypoint -p ${PID_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid --quiet command couldn't be run. Further looking into this revealed that the /usr/share/elasticsearch directory is set up using docker. I have been unable to find out where this directory is created in your code.

I realize I may be on the wrong track, but could this be what is causing my issue as I am unable to start the elasticsearch service.

Hello @HIINNS

Thanks for following up, you stated that the "/usr/share/elasticsearch directory is set up using docker". Sounds like there was an existing elasticsearch Docker container installed prior to installing Nagios Log Server. The Nagios Log Server install is not officially supported in a Docker Container.

Please try to manually start the elasticsearch by: /.../..../elasticsearch start

Usage: /the/directory/where/Elasticsearch [ console | start | stop | restart | condrestart | status | install | remove | dump ]

Thanks,
Perry
