Content Pack Export Fails When an Included Object Has an Empty Description

Development

Hi everyone,

We’ve encountered what seems to be a bug in Graylog related to content pack creation.

When creating a content pack, if any of the selected components (e.g., streams, dashboards, pipelines, etc.) has a description field that is empty, the resulting content pack is generated but contains no data.
In other words, the exported content pack is completely empty even though multiple items were selected.

After some testing, we confirmed that:

  • The issue occurs as soon as at least one selected object has an empty description.

  • Filling in the missing description (with any text) allows the content pack to export correctly.

  • This behavior is consistent and reproducible.

It looks like Graylog fails silently instead of warning the user or skipping the problematic field.

Environment details (optional if you want to add):

  • Graylog version: 6.3.5

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

  • Deployment type (VM, containers, Kubernetes): VM

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Select various items to include in a new content pack.

  2. Ensure at least one of these items has an empty description.

  3. Generate/export the content pack.

  4. The resulting content pack is empty.

Could you confirm whether this is a known issue?

Thank you for reading,

The Lugos Team
