Could not communicate to Elasticsearch - elasticsearch

I am trying to send my node app logs to fluentd to elasticsearch to kibana, but having a problem connecting fluentd with elasticsearch with docker. I want to dockerize this efk stack.
I have attached the folder structure and shared relevant files.
Following is the folder structure:

Maybe I am missing some with docker networking because I am using docker for the first time I have checked the ports exposed by docker containers and they are fine. I have done this without docker and have used the same settings but having a problem doing it with docker. Looking forward to seeing your responses. Thank you very much.

Adding a username to the elastic search environment solved the issue :

Nginx cannot connect fluentd in EFK stack

I am setting up a stack with an application consisting of nginx, redis, mysql, myapp. Nginx proxies requests to myapp. I want to send logs from nginx to EFK stack, but an error occurs when starting the nginx service:

I ask for help
Tldr;
Because you are using 2 compose files. docker-compose.yml and efk.yml They are not sharing the same value for the network.
To Fix
Combine both file in a single one.
To Fix (with still 2 files separated)
You should first off all create a network.
docker network create traefik-public
Then update both compose file with
networks:
default:
external:
name: traefik-public
This should make it work.
In order for there to be a connection between the efk stack and the application stack, it is necessary to bind the fluentd port to the host port

BadResponseCodeError, :error=>"Got response code '401' contacting Elasticsearch at URL

I use logstash by logstash:7.9.1 image and i get this error when I up docker-compose and I dont know what to do with this (I try to make my logstash config wrong and connect it to the wrong elastic port but my docker still connect to 9200 and so I think it dosent read its data from my logstash config) pls help meeeee!!!!

}
You are using the wrong password of elastic user in 7.9 which is changed from changeme to password as shown in ES contribution doc, but I tried and this seems to work only when you are running ES from source code.
Anyway you are getting 401 means unauth access and you can read more about it here,
As you are not running ES code from source, would advise you to follow the steps mentioned in this thread to change the password and as you are running it in docker, you need to go inside the docker conatainer by docker exec -it <cont-id> /bin/bash and than run the command mentioned in thread to set your own password.

Why elasticsearch on docker swarm requires a transport.host=localhost setting?

I'm trying to run Elasticsearch on an docker swarm. It works as a single node cluster for now, but only when the transport.host=localhost setting is included. Here is main part of docker-compose.yml:
version: "3"
services:
elasticsearch:
image: "elasticsearch:7.4.1" #(base version)
hostname: elasticsearch
ports:
- "9200:9200"
environment:
- cluster.name=elasticsearch
- bootstrap.memory_lock=true
- ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m
- transport.host=localhost
volumes:
- "./elasticsearch/volumes:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data"
networks:
- logger_net
volumes:
logging:
networks:
logger_net:
external: true
Above configuration results in the yellow cluster state (because some indexes require additional replica).
Elasticsearch status page is unavailable when I'm using IP of the elasticsearch docker container in a transport.host setting or without a transport.host=localhost setting.
I think that using a transport.host=localhost setting is wrong. Is proper configuration of Elasticsearch in docker swarm available?

How to use the official docker elasticsearch container?

I have the following Dockerfile:
FROM docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.4.0
RUN elasticsearch
EXPOSE 80
I think the 3rd line is never reached.
When I try to access the dockercontainer from my local machine through:
172.17.0.2:9300
I get nothing, what am I missing? I want to access elasticsearch from the local host machine.
I recommend using docker-compose (which makes lot of things much easier) with following configuration.
Configuration (for development)
Configuration starts 3 services: elastic itself and extra utilities
for development like kibana and head plugin (these could be omitted, if you don't need them).
In the same directory you will need three files:
docker-compose.yml
elasticsearch.yml
kibana.yml
With following contents:
docker-compose.yml
version: '2'
services:
elasticsearch:
image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.4.0
container_name: elasticsearch_540
environment:
- http.host=0.0.0.0
- transport.host=0.0.0.0
- "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1g -Xmx1g"
volumes:
- esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
- ./elasticsearch.yml:/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml
ports:
- 9200:9200
- 9300:9300
ulimits:
memlock:
soft: -1
hard: -1
nofile:
soft: 65536
hard: 65536
mem_limit: 2g
cap_add:
- IPC_LOCK
kibana:
image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:5.4.0
container_name: kibana_540
environment:
- SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0
volumes:
- ./kibana.yml:/usr/share/kibana/config/kibana.yml
ports:
- 5601:5601
headPlugin:
image: mobz/elasticsearch-head:5
container_name: head_540
ports:
- 9100:9100
volumes:
esdata:
driver: local
elasticsearch.yml
cluster.name: "chimeo-docker-cluster"
node.name: "chimeo-docker-single-node"
network.host: 0.0.0.0
http.cors.enabled: true
http.cors.allow-origin: "*"
http.cors.allow-headers: "Authorization"
kibana.yml
server.name: kibana
server.host: "0"
elasticsearch.url: http://elasticsearch:9200
elasticsearch.username: elastic
elasticsearch.password: changeme
xpack.monitoring.ui.container.elasticsearch.enabled: true
Running
With above three files in the same directory and that directory set as current working directory you do (could require sudo, depends how you have your docker-compose set up):
docker-compose up
It will start up and you will see logs from three different services: elasticsearch_540, kibana_540 and head_540.
After initial start up you will have your elastic cluster available for http under 9200 and for tcp under 9300. Validate with following curl if the cluster started up:
curl -u elastic:changeme http://localhost:9200/_cat/health
Then you can view and play with your cluster using either kibana (with credentials elastic / changeme):
http://localhost:5601/
or head plugin:
http://localhost:9100/?base_uri=http://localhost:9200&auth_user=elastic&auth_password=changeme
Your container is auto exiting because of insufficient virtual memory, by default to run an elastic search container your memory should be a min of 262144 but if you run this command sysctl vm.max_map_countand see it will be around 65530. Please increase your virtual memory count by using this command sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 and run the container again docker run IMAGE IDthen you should have your container running and you should be able to access elastic search at port 9200 or 9300
edit : check this link https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/vm-max-map-count.html#vm-max-map-count
Best would be to follow the official elasticsearch documentation which has a nice section on single node elasticsearch cluster Also running a multi-node elasticsearch cluster using docker-compose.
Please refer to version specific documentation, which can be accessed in the version drop-down present in elasticsearch official documentation.

Docker scale and elasticsearch

The public docker image for elasticsearch is on docker hub
https://hub.docker.com/_/elasticsearch/
If i defined my own docker-compose file with elasticsearch, how would i scale up elasticsearch so that the ports don't collide?
version: '2'
services:
elasticsearch:
image: elasticsearch:latest
ports:
- "9200:9200"
- "9300:9300"
kibana:
image: kibana
ports:
- 5601:5601
environment:
- ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200
How could i scale this up, similar to the command below?
docker-compose scale elasticsearch=3
I am running docker beta for mac version 1.12.
Thanks,
Shane.
If you just want the ports don't collide, we should use "automatic port mapping" with docker-compose.yml as below:
version: '2'
services:
elasticsearch:
image: elasticsearch:latest
ports:
- 9200
- 9300
So Docker will automatically map ports 9200 and 9300 to random ports in range 32xxx.
