Kibana fails with fatal error if xpack.reporting.enabled is false #69621

dave-wheeler · 2020-06-19T16:16:38Z

Kibana version: 7.8.0
Elasticsearch version: 7.8.0
Server OS version: Archlinux
Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.): Arch AUR package
Describe the bug: If xpack.reporting.enabled is false, kibana will never start successfully.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Add the following to kibana.yml:
xpack.reporting.enabled: false
2.Try to start kibana

Expected behavior:
Kibana starts successfully.

Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant):

Jun 19 10:10:00 hostname systemd[1]: Started Kibana - dashboard for Elasticsearch.
Jun 19 10:10:17 hostname node[185796]:  FATAL  Error: [config validation of [xpack.reporting].enabled]: definition for this key is missing
Jun 19 10:10:19 hostname systemd[1]: kibana.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Jun 19 10:10:19 hostname systemd[1]: kibana.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Jun 19 10:10:19 hostname systemd[1]: kibana.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 1.

It's unclear to me if this setting is still valid. The breaking changes notes for elasticsearch 7.8 mentions "Several X-Pack settings no longer have any effect and are deprecated...are always enabled for the default distribution and the following settings no longer have any effect." However, xpack.reporting.enabled is not one of the settings listed, nor does the Kibana documentation say anything about this setting being deprecated or invalid.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Kibana fails to start with both true and false in kibana.yml:

xpack.reporting.enabled: true
xpack.reporting.enabled: false

This is from a docker container running kibana version 7.8.0. The container ID is 7bd2290b8fd0.

Apologies, this bug came about from the Reporting plugin migration to the new Kibana platform. It is fixed in 7.x but looks like it was fixed after the 7.8 release cut off. The fix will be in 7.8.1

tsullivan · 2020-06-22T16:02:14Z

original PR: #68288

backport for 7.8.1: #69645

tsullivan · 2020-06-24T14:29:21Z

Fixed in #69645 for 7.8.1 release

sastorsl · 2020-06-24T14:45:32Z

@tsullivan just to be clear, does this mean we should add this option again (provided we want it)?

tsullivan · 2020-06-24T17:34:04Z

If you want to configure Kibana to disable Reporting, unfortunately, you'll have to wait for 7.8.1 to come out so the xpack.reporting.enabled setting can be used without interfering with Kibana startup.

Until then, it is a known issue (7.8.0) that the xpack.reporting.enabled setting can't be accessed.

sastorsl · 2020-06-25T08:22:30Z

Roger that.

@tsullivan
i am encountering this issue too.
what is the best way to upgrade, elasticsearch first, and then kibana?
or can i run 7.8.0 of elastic and 7.8.1 for kibana?
