DustinB3403

I don't see any error messages in the above logs.

So what did I mess up?

DustinB3403

In /var/log/kibana/kibana.stout I have the below...

{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2016-08-15T15:43:07+00:00","tags":["fatal"],"pid":23942,"level":"fatal","message":"listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:5601","error":{"message":"listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:5601","name":"Error","stack":"Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:5601\n    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:870:11)\n    at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:893:20)\n    at Server._listen2 (net.js:1236:14)\n    at listen (net.js:1272:10)\n    at net.js:1381:9\n    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.asyncCallback [as callback] (dns.js:63:16)\n    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:82:10)","code":"EADDRINUSE"}}

And in kibana.stderr

[root@syslog-cent kibana]# tail kibana.stderr
	 errno: 'EADDRINUSE',
	 syscall: 'listen',
	 address: '127.0.0.1',
	 port: 5601 },
  isOperational: true,
  code: 'EADDRINUSE',
  errno: 'EADDRINUSE',
  syscall: 'listen',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 5601 }

Is the system listening to the wrong port? Shouldn't it be 514 or 5140?

DustinB3403

So in checking out the firewall on the Kibana server using nmap...

@DustinB3403 You'd need at least 5601 open, right? What's the output of

fireall-cmd --list-all

DustinB3403

@travisdh1

[root@syslog-cent log]# firewall-cmd --list-all
public (default, active)
  interfaces: eth0
  sources:
  services: dhcpv6-client ssh
  ports: 80/tcp 5044/tcp
  masquerade: no
  forward-ports:
  icmp-blocks:
  rich rules:

travisdh1

We may be getting somewhere. You're kibana.stderr looks like you need port 5601 open.

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5601/tcp --permanent

Sidenote: I still don't like firewall-cmd. Change is hard, even for geeks.

DustinB3403

@travisdh1 So with both TCP and UDP open.

[root@syslog-cent log]# firewall-cmd --list-all
public (default, active)
  interfaces: eth0
  sources:
  services: dhcpv6-client ssh
  ports: 5601/udp 80/tcp 5601/tcp 5044/tcp
  masquerade: no
  forward-ports:
  icmp-blocks:
  rich rules:

Still nothing showing up in Kibana

Do you have to reload the firewalld settings to get them to apply?

firewall-cmd --reload

travisdh1

@coliver Yep, I keep forgetting that step.... spent an hour the other day wondering why things weren't working.

DustinB3403

@coliver I did.

I'll run it again though.

DustinB3403

So still digging into this...

[root@syslog-cent bin]# ./kibana serve restart

DustinB3403

We must have to change the kibana.yml file to not listen on the localhost address...

kibana.yml...

[root@syslog-cent config]# cat kibana.yml
server.host: "localhost"
elasticsearch_url: "http://localhost:9200"
server.port:5601

DustinB3403

I'm rebooting see if its hung somewhere. As from what I can find online the kibana server is supposedly running twice...

DustinB3403

Ok so after playing with the timestamp (top right) I do actually have logs, but only from the 12th of the month...

So maybe it was working, but not showing the logs... now to figure out what the crap is broken....

I donwloaded the Graylog OVA this morning to test it out and put it on my XS pool. Just set Xencenter to forward logs to the Graylog server, seems to work well. Xenserver still making local log entries, but i am ok with that.
Xenserver sure does like logging messages. 2 hosts making a couple hundred messages/minute, xenstored and xapi are the top ones by far.

What source are you using?
