1. Describe your incident:
Fresh install and I am getting
ERROR [ServerBootstrap] Exception while running migrations
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Couldn't retrieve rotation strategy provider for <org.graylog2.indexer.rotation.strategies.MessageCountRotationStrategy>
in the logs and Graylog does not seem to be starting up. In fact it goes in to a restart loop.
2. Describe your environment:
OS Information: Ubuntu 20.04
Package Version: 5.0
Service logs, configurations, and environment variables:
3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?
Checked my settings in server.conf. It seems like the error is referencing something that should be default and I will set up in the system once I can log in.
Looks like your graylog.conf is missing a setting for rotation_strategy.
You need to have this when you startup for the first time (it’s not used anymore later on).
If it helps I can post my sanitized server.conf. I checked and I have rotation_strategy = time set in my server.conf file. Opensearch and MongoDB appear to be working. I can also post my log output where that error occurs repeatedly.
Looks like you may have ended in an inconsistent state: the exception you posted earlier refers to MessageCountRotationStrategy, but your config file specifies time.
You could try dropping your mongoDB and restarting GL, so it can be rebuilt from scratch.
