Error deploying SonarCube on an OpenShift Cluster - elasticsearch

I have added a SonarQube operator (https://github.com/RedHatGov/sonarqube-operator) in my cluster and when I want to let a Sonar instance out of the operator, the container terminates with the Fail Message:
ERROR: [1] bootstrap checks failed
[1]: max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [253832] is too low, increase to at least [262144]
The problem lies in the fact that the operator refers to the label;
tuned.openshift.io/elasticsearch
which leaves me to do the necessary tuning, but there is no Elasticsearch operator or tuning on this pristine cluster.
I have created a tuning for Sonar but for whatever reason the thing does not want to be pulled. It currently looks like this:
apiVersion: tuned.openshift.io/v1
kind: Tuned
metadata:
name: sonarqube
namespace: openshift-cluster-node-tuning-operator
spec:
profile:
- data: |

match:
- label: node-role.kubernetes.io/master
- label: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra
type: pod
priority: 10
profile: openshift-sonarqube
and on the deployment I give the label;
tuned.openshift.io/sonarqube
But for whatever reason it is not pulled and I still get the above error message. Does anyone have an idea, and/or are these necessary steps? I followed the documentation > (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/openshift_container_platform/4.8/html/scalability_and_performance/using-node-tuning-operator) and it didn't work with the customized example. I set the match in match again, but that didn't work either.
Any suggestions?

Maybe try this:
oc create -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: tuned.openshift.io/v1

ElasticSearch CrashLoopBackoff when deploying with ECK in Kubernetes OKD 4.11

I am running Kubernetes using OKD 4.11 (running on vSphere) and have validated the basic functionality (including dyn. volume provisioning) using applications (like nginx).
I also applied
oc adm policy add-scc-to-group anyuid system:authenticated
to allow authenticated users to use anyuid (which seems to have been required to deploy the nginx example I was testing with).
Then I installed ECK using this quickstart with kubectl to install the CRD and RBAC manifests. This seems to have worked.
Then I deployed the most basic ElasticSearch quickstart example with kubectl apply -f quickstart.yaml using this manifest:
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
name: quickstart
spec:
version: 8.4.2
nodeSets:
- name: default
count: 1
config:
node.store.allow_mmap: false
The deployment proceeds as expected, pulling image and starting container, but ends in a CrashLoopBackoff with the following error from ElasticSearch at the end of the log:
"elasticsearch.cluster.name":"quickstart",
"error.type":"java.lang.IllegalStateException",
"error.message":"failed to obtain node locks, tried
[/usr/share/elasticsearch/data]; maybe these locations
are not writable or multiple nodes were started on the same data path?"
Looking into the storage, the PV and PVC are created successfully, the output of kubectl get pv,pvc,sc -A -n my-namespace is:
NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE
persistentvolume/pvc-9d7b57db-8afd-40f7-8b3d-6334bdc07241 1Gi RWO Delete Bound my-namespace/elasticsearch-data-quickstart-es-default-0 thin 41m

storageclass.storage.k8s.io/thin-csi csi.vsphere.vmware.com Delete WaitForFirstConsumer true 19d
Looking at the pod yaml, it appears that the volume is correctly attached :
volumes:
- name: elasticsearch-data
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: elasticsearch-data-quickstart-es-default-0
- name: downward-api
downwardAPI:
items:
- path: labels
fieldRef:
apiVersion: v1
fieldPath: metadata.labels
defaultMode: 420
....
volumeMounts:
...
- name: elasticsearch-data
mountPath: /usr/share/elasticsearch/data
I cannot understand why the volume would be read-only or rather why ES cannot create the lock.
I did find this similar issue, but I am not sure how to apply the UID permissions (in general I am fairly naive about the way permissions work in OKD) when when working with ECK.
Does anyone with deeper K8s / OKD or ECK/ElasticSearch knowledge have an idea how to better isolate and/or resolve this issue?
Update: I believe this has something to do with this issue and am researching the optionas related to OKD.
For posterity, the ECK starts an init container that should take care of the chown on the data volume, but can only do so if it is running as root.
The resolution for me was documented here:
https://repo1.dso.mil/dsop/elastic/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/-/issues/7
The manifest now looks like this:
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
name: quickstart
spec:
version: 8.4.2
nodeSets:
- name: default
count: 1
config:
node.store.allow_mmap: false
# run init container as root to chown the volume to uid 1000
podTemplate:
spec:
securityContext:
runAsUser: 1000
runAsGroup: 0
initContainers:
- name: elastic-internal-init-filesystem
securityContext:
runAsUser: 0
runAsGroup: 0
And the pod starts up and can write to the volume as uid 1000.

How to connect Kibana with Elastic Enterprise Search in Kubernetes

I have deployed Elasticsearch, Kibana and Enterprise Search to my local Kubernetes Cluster via this official guide and they are working fine individually (and are connected to the Elasticsearch instance).
Now I wanted to setup Kibana to connect with Enterprise search like this:
I tried it with localhost, but that obviously did not work in Kubernetes.
So I tried the service name inside Kubernetes, but now I am getting this error:
The Log from Kubernetes is the following:
{"type":"log","#timestamp":"2021-01-15T15:18:48Z","tags":["error","plugins","enterpriseSearch"],"pid":8,"message":"Could not perform access check to Enterprise Search: FetchError: request to https://enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc:3002/api/ent/v2/internal/client_config failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc:3002"}
So the questions is how do I configure my kibana enterpriseSearch.host so that it will work?
Here are my deployment yaml files:
# Kibana
apiVersion: kibana.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Kibana
metadata:
name: quickstart
spec:
version: 7.10.1
count: 1
elasticsearchRef:
name: quickstart
config:
enterpriseSearch.host: 'https://enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc:3002'
# Enterprise Search
apiVersion: enterprisesearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1beta1
kind: EnterpriseSearch
metadata:
name: enterprise-search-quickstart
spec:
version: 7.10.1
count: 1
elasticsearchRef:
name: quickstart
config:
ent_search.external_url: https://localhost:3002
I encountered quite the same issue, but on a development environment based on docker-compose.
I fixed it by setting ent_search.external_url value the same as enterpriseSearch.host value
In your case, i guess, your 'Enterprise Search' deployment yaml file should look like this :
# Enterprise Search
apiVersion: enterprisesearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1beta1
kind: EnterpriseSearch
metadata:
name: enterprise-search-quickstart
spec:
version: 7.10.1
count: 1
elasticsearchRef:
name: quickstart
config:
ent_search.external_url: 'https://enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc:3002'

Packetbeat does not add Kubernetes metadata

I've started a minikube (using Kubernetes 1.18.3) to test out ECK and specifically packetbeat. The minikube profile is called "packetbeat" (important, as that's the hostname for the Virtualbox VM as well) and I followed the ECK quickstart to get it up and running. ElasticSearch (single node) and Kibana are running fine and packetbeat is gathering flows as well, however, I'm unable to make it add the Kubernetes metadata to the fields.
I'm working in the default namespace and created a ClusterRoleBinding to view for the default ServiceAccount in the namespace. This is working well, if I do not do that, packetbeat will report it is unable to list the Pods on the API server.
This is the Beat config I'm using to make ECK deploy packetbeat:
apiVersion: beat.k8s.elastic.co/v1beta1
kind: Beat
metadata:
name: packetbeat
spec:
type: packetbeat
version: 7.9.0
elasticsearchRef:
name: quickstart

config:
packetbeat.interfaces.device: any
packetbeat.protocols:
- type: http

- type: tls
ports: [443]
packetbeat.flows:
timeout: 30s

processors:

daemonSet:
podTemplate:
spec:

dnsPolicy: ClusterFirstWithHostNet
containers:
- name: packetbeat
securityContext:
runAsUser: 0
capabilities:
add:
- NET_ADMIN
(This is mostly a slightly modified example from the ECK example page.) However, this is not working at all. I tried it with "add_kubernetes_metadata: {}" first, but that will error with the message:
2020-08-19T14:23:38.550Z ERROR [kubernetes] kubernetes/util.go:117
kubernetes: Querying for pod failed with error: pods "packetbeat" not
found {"libbeat.processor": "add_kubernetes_metadata"}
This message goes away when I add the "host: packetbeat". I'm no longer getting an error now, but I'm not getting the Kubernetes metadata either. I'm mostly interested in the namespace tag, but I'm not getting any. I do not see any additional errors in the log and it just reports monitoring details every 30 seconds at the moment.
What am I doing wrong? Any more information I can provide to help me debug this?
So the docs are just unclear. Although they do not explicitely state it, you do need to add indexers and matchers. My understanding was that there are "default" ones (as you can disable those), but that does not seem to be the case. Adding the indexers and matchers as per the example in the docs makes the Kubernetes metadata part of the data.

Digital Ocean managed Kubernetes volume in pending state

It's not so digital ocean specific, would be really nice to verify if this is an expected behavior or not.
I'm trying to setup ElasticSearch cluster on DO managed Kubernetes cluster with helm chart from ElasticSearch itself
And they say that I need to specify a storageClassName in a volumeClaimTemplate in order to use volume which is provided by managed kubernetes service. For DO it's do-block-storages according to their docs. Also seems to be it's not necessary to define PVC, helm chart should do it itself.
Here's config I'm using
# Specify node pool
nodeSelector:
doks.digitalocean.com/node-pool: elasticsearch
# Shrink default JVM heap.
esJavaOpts: "-Xmx128m -Xms128m"
# Allocate smaller chunks of memory per pod.

# Specify Digital Ocean storage
# Request smaller persistent volumes.
volumeClaimTemplate:
accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
storageClassName: do-block-storage
resources:
requests:
storage: 10Gi
extraInitContainers: |

command: ['chown', '-R', '1000:1000', '/usr/share/elasticsearch/']
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /usr/share/elasticsearch/data

Helm chart i'm setting with terraform, but it doesn't matter anyway, which way you'll do it:
resource "helm_release" "elasticsearch" {
name = "elasticsearch"
chart = "elastic/elasticsearch"
namespace = "elasticsearch"
values = [
file("charts/elasticsearch.yaml")
]
}
Here's what I've got when checking pod logs:
51s Normal Provisioning persistentvolumeclaim/elasticsearch-master-elasticsearch-master-2 External provisioner is provisioning volume for claim "elasticsearch/elasticsearch-master-elasticsearch-master-2"
2m28s Normal ExternalProvisioning persistentvolumeclaim/elasticsearch-master-elasticsearch-master-2 waiting for a volume to be created, either by external provisioner "dobs.csi.digitalocean.com" or manually created by system administrator
I'm pretty sure the problem is a volume. it should've been automagically provided by kubernetes. Describing persistent storage gives this:

I've google everything already, it seems to be everything is correct, and volume should be up withing DO side with no problems, but it hangs in pending state. Is this expected behavior or should I ask DO support to check what's going on their side?
Yes, this is expected behavior. This chart might not be compatible with Digital Ocean Kubernetes service.
Digital Ocean documentation has the following information in Known Issues section:
Support for resizing DigitalOcean Block Storage Volumes in Kubernetes has not yet been implemented.
In the DigitalOcean Control Panel, cluster resources (worker nodes, load balancers, and block storage volumes) are listed outside of the Kubernetes page. If you rename or otherwise modify these resources in the control panel, you may render them unusable to the cluster or cause the reconciler to provision replacement resources. To avoid this, manage your cluster resources exclusively with kubectl or from the control panel’s Kubernetes page.
In the charts/stable/elasticsearch there are specific requirements mentioned:
Prerequisites Details
Kubernetes 1.10+
PV dynamic provisioning support on the underlying infrastructure
You can ask Digital Ocean support for help or try to deploy ElasticSearch without helm chart.
It is even mentioned on github that:
Automated testing of this chart is currently only run against GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine).
Update:
The same issue is present on my kubeadm ha cluster.
However I managed to get it working by manually creating PersistentVolumes's for my storageclass.
My storageclass definition: storageclass.yaml:
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: ssd
provisioner: kubernetes.io/no-provisioner
volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
parameters:
type: pd-ssd
$ kubectl apply -f storageclass.yaml
$ kubectl get sc
NAME PROVISIONER AGE
ssd local 50m
My PersistentVolume definition: pv.yaml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume

nodeAffinity:
required:
nodeSelectorTerms:
- matchExpressions:
- key: kubernetes.io/hostname
operator: In
values:
- <name of the node>
kubectl apply -f pv.yaml
After that I ran helm chart:
helm install stable/elasticsearch --name my-release --set data.persistence.storageClass=ssd,data.storage=30Gi --set data.persistence.storageClass=ssd,master.storage=30Gi
PVC finally got bound.
$ kubectl get pvc -A
NAMESPACE NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE
default data-my-release-elasticsearch-data-0 Bound task-pv-volume2 30Gi RWO ssd 17m
default data-my-release-elasticsearch-master-0 Pending 17m
Note that I only manually satisfied only single pvc and ElasticSearch manual volume provisioning might be very inefficient.
I suggest contacting DO support for automated volume provisioning solution.
What a strange situation, after I've changed 10Gi to 10G it started to work. Maybe it has to do something with a storage class it's self, but it started to work.

The error I'm seeing when accessing the above URL is "no endpoints available for service "grafana"", error code 503.
With Kubernetes 1.10 the proxy URL should be slighly different, like this:
http://localhost:8080/api/v1/namespaces/default/services/SERVICE-NAME:PORT-NAME/proxy/
Ref: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/access-cluster/#manually-constructing-apiserver-proxy-urls
As Michael says, quite possibly your labels or namespaces are mismatching. However in addition to that, keep in mind that even when you fix the endpoint, the url you're after (http://localhost:8001/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/monitoring/services/grafana) might not work correctly.
Depending on your root_url and/or static_root_path grafana configuration settings, when trying to login you might get grafana trying to POST to http://localhost:8001/login and get a 404.
Try using kubectl port-forward instead:
kubectl -n monitoring port-forward [grafana-pod-name] 3000
then access grafana via http://localhost:3000/
https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/
The issue is that Grafana's port is named web, and as a result one needs to append :web to the kubectl proxy URL: http://localhost:8001/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/monitoring/services/grafana:web.
An alternative, is to instead not name the Grafana port, because then you don't have to append :web to the kubectl proxy URL for the service: http://localhost:8001/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/monitoring/services/grafana:web. I went with this option in the end since it's easier.
There are a few factors that might be causing this issue.
The service expects to find one or more supporting endpoints, which it discovers through matching rules on the labels. If the labels don't align, then the service won't find endpoints, and the network gateway function performed by the service will result in 503.
The port declared by the POD and the process within the container are misaligned from the --target-port expected by the service.
Either one of these might generate the error. Let's take a closer look.
First, kubectl describe the service:
$ kubectl describe svc grafana01-grafana-3000
Name: grafana01-grafana-3000
Namespace: default
Labels: app=grafana01-grafana
chart=grafana-0.3.7
component=grafana
heritage=Tiller
release=grafana01
Annotations: <none>
Selector: app=grafana01-grafana,component=grafana,release=grafana01
Type: NodePort
IP: 10.0.0.197
Port: <unset> 3000/TCP
NodePort: <unset> 30905/TCP
Endpoints: 10.1.45.69:3000
Session Affinity: None
Events: <none>
Notice that my grafana service has 1 endpoint listed (there could be multiple). The error above in your example indicates that you won't have endpoints listed here.
Endpoints: 10.1.45.69:3000
Let's take a look next at the selectors. In the example above, you can see I have 3 selector labels on my service:
Selector: app=grafana01-grafana,component=grafana,release=grafana01
I'll kubectl describe my pods next:
$ kubectl describe pod grafana
Name: grafana01-grafana-1843344063-vp30d
Namespace: default
Node: 10.10.25.220/10.10.25.220
Start Time: Fri, 14 Jul 2017 03:25:11 +0000
Labels: app=grafana01-grafana
component=grafana
pod-template-hash=1843344063
release=grafana01
...
Notice that the labels on the pod align correctly, hence my service finds pods which provide endpoints which are load balanced against by the service. Verify that this part of the chain isn't broken in your environment.
If you do find that the labels are correct, you may still have a disconnect in that the grafana process running within the container within the pod is running on a different port than you expect.
$ kubectl describe pod grafana
Name: grafana01-grafana-1843344063-vp30d
...
Containers:
grafana:
Container ID: docker://69f11b7828c01c5c3b395c008d88e8640c5606f4d865107bf4b433628cc36c76
Image: grafana/grafana:latest
Image ID: docker-pullable://grafana/grafana#sha256:11690015c430f2b08955e28c0e8ce7ce1c5883edfc521b68f3fb288e85578d26
Port: 3000/TCP
State: Running
Started: Fri, 14 Jul 2017 03:25:26 +0000
If for some reason, your port under the container listed a different value, then the service is effectively load balancing against an invalid endpoint.
For example, if it listed port 80:
Port: 80/TCP
Or was an empty value
Port:
Then even if your label selectors were correct, the service would never find a valid response from the pod and would remove the endpoint from the rotation.
I suspect your issue is the first problem above (mismatched label selectors).
If both the label selectors and ports align, then you might have a problem with the MTU setting between nodes. In some cases, if the MTU used by your networking layer (like calico) is larger than the MTU of the supporting network, then you'll never get a valid response from the endpoint. Typically, this last potential issue will manifest itself as a timeout rather than a 503 though.
Your Deployment may not have a label app: grafana, or be in another namespace. Could you also post the Deployment definition?
