Hi Sai,

I've had the same error message with a Ubuntu 14.04 host system. I'm yet to get it fully working but here's my progress so far. I'm thinking it may be a resolver / route issue, but haven't looked into it enough.

For the error message above, I edited the ansible script in incubator-metron-Metron_0.1BETA_rc7/deployment/roles/elasticsearch/tasks/configure_index.yml to use the ip of the host. e.g. http://192.168.66.121:9200/.

This needed to be done for 'Wait for Green Index Status' and the task below it.

After this change, the install seemed to complete successfully, however kibana was turning up blank.

This was resolved by:

1) edit the elasticsearch parameter at /usr/metron/0.1BETA/metron-ui/lib/public/config.js to be elasticsearch: 'http://<ip>:9200',

2) add the following to /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

http.cors.allow-origin: "/.*/"

http.cors.enabled: true

3) restart elasticsearch /etc/init.d/elasticsearch restart

At this stage, I am seeing the pcaps traversing through storm, however am getting getting errors in the enrichment topology forwarding the data to elasticsearch. I'm still looking into this.

Hope this helps,

Ryan

Hi Sai,

Can you tell me what version of Metron, Ansible, Python and Vagrant you are running?

Thanks!

You can also simply paste the output of `metron-deployment/scripts/platform-info.sh`. That should give us a good understanding of your environment.

Hi Ryan, came across this post as I ran into similar issue as above installing metron and tried your steps to resolve. Im now also stuck with a blank Kibana screen but can't or don't seem to have a file "/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml" to add the 2 parameters you're suggesting.

From the installation steps i can see elasticsearch has been installed and started correctly.

Any idea how to resolve, what i could be missing?

thx
