ElasticSearch Issues

  • java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown setting [node.rack] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings
Node level attributes used for allocation filtering, forced awareness or other node identification / grouping must be prefixed with node.attr. In previous versions it was possible to specify node attributes with the node. prefix. All node attributes except of node.masternode.data and node.ingest must be moved to the new node.attr. namespace.
  • Unknown setting mlockall
Replace the bootstrap.mlockall with bootstrap.memory_lock
  • Unable to lock JVM Memory: error=12, reason=Cannot allocate memory
Edit:  /etc/security/limits.conf and add the following lines
elasticsearch soft memlock unlimited
elasticsearch hard memlock unlimited
Edit: /usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service uncomment the line
LimitMEMLOCK=infinity
Execute the following commands:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl elasticsearch start

Terraform

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied. The infrastructure Terraform can manage includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc. The key features of Terraform are: Infrastructure as Code : Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and...

Saltstack and Vault integration

First install and configure vault using this tutorial: https://apassionatechie.wordpress.com/2017/03/05/hashicorp-vault/ Use the latest version of vault. Then install salt using the steps given here: https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/installation/ If you face any issues then refer these links: https://apassionatechie.wordpress.com/2017/07/31/salt-issues/ https://apassionatechie.wordpress.com/2017/08/03/salt-stack-formulas/ Now let's integrate vault and salt so that we can access vault secrets from inside salt state. First let's add some key values into our vault. vault write secret/ssh/user1 password="abc123" Then you can check it by reading: vault read secret/ssh/user1 To allow salt to access your secrets you must firstly create a policy as follows: salt-policy.hcl [code] path "secret/*" { capabilities = ["read", "list"] } path "auth/*" { capabilities = ["read", "list","sudo",...
