No matching indices found: No indices match pattern "logstash-*"

[xneo1]

After installing it in Linux Mint 18 (VM) I access Kibana and it shows "No matching indices found: No indices match pattern "logstash-*"".

The default index in Advanced Settings is: logstash-*

Nothing is discovered. Also I cannot access the Sweet Security WebApp .(As it's a testing machine I used the same pwd for webapp and elastic )

Do you know how I can fix it? On the vm I can ping successfully the other network devices.

[xneo1]

I launched the script again, changed the password (removed a number but kept the same pwd for both elastic and apache/kibana) but I still have the same problem. it shows "Internal Server Error:

[pdobrien3]

I have this same issue. First with a client/server install on two raspberry pis and second with a ubuntu 16.04 full install on a laptop.

[pdobrien3]

This is the only error I got on the second install:

WARNING: can not set Session#timeout=(0) no session context.

@xneo1 the matching indices message means that Logstash has not sent any data up to the server. I would ensure that logstash is running and configured correctly first. Run 'sudo service logstash status' on the client to make sure it is running. If not, run 'sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf -t' to ensure that the configuration file did not get corrupted.

As far as the internal server error, I would need to see the error message from /var/log/apache2/error.log to be able to troubleshoot that error.

Hi, I have the same problem with logstash, when I run the command that you put in the other comment, the result this is:

Many thanks!

having the same problem... tried on several machine to do a full or a splitted config but always the logstash pattern error. Logstash is running

[buckshome]

If there are any errors at all (even if's running) logstash won't parse any messages. I had mentioned this in another thread but the current version of logstash no longer comes with email functionality built in. You probably configured logstash to send you emails during installation. You'll have to install the email plugin bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-email

[Agromahdi123]

Ok, i really dont know much about coding, but i found an easy fix for this. The installer has a python script to import indices, so what i did was run curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/.kibana to delete the indices created by ES that somehow break kibana, and then rerun the install script, and it will reimport the indices and the dashboards, and they will work.

[mlinton]

For what ever reason - the installation script failed for me too and logstash even though its installed does not have any of the configuration files in the right spots (e.g. empty /etc/logstash/conf.d/). Looking at the python logstash install script it looks like there is a bunch of stuff being done. I would be nice to be able to just rerun the logstash install to try to get it all working. Any ideas?

[thatsatechnique]

sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-email

That's the command to install the email plugin if you are having issues getting your indices to show up from client --> Server (missing any logstash entries in Kibana).

[InfoSecured]

I had this problem too. Mkiukaji's response worked for me. I had to restart both devices though before it started working.

Same issue here - Though I get:
