Intermittent failure to load the WebUI after upgrade

Hi,
This issue has had me pondering for a while now, because I can’t figure out how it happens intermittently but not in a regular way. It just happens at random.
While the server’s activities seem untouched, I have problems predicting whether the UI will be working or not when I connect.

The Issue

After upgrading graylog-server from the version 4.0.5 to the version 4.2.1 (same issue with the version 4.2.0) I found out that upon restarting the server it worked seamlessly, but for a certain period of time, then the WebUI becomes inaccessible and a blank page presents itself instead.

The blank page contains all the scripts, but no other <body> components:

Unfortunately this status remains for hours.

When the WebUI works as intended, no errors are thrown from the browser console. When it shows the blank page it throws a bunch of javascript errors for every installed plugin:

javascript errors on console

collapsed errors

I really can’t figure the source of this issue out, because, as I said, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Graylog 4.2.1+5442e44 on graylog.private (Debian 11.0.12 on Linux 4.19.0-18-amd64)

Package versions

  • Graylog - 4.2.1
  • MongoDB - 4.2.17
  • Elasticsearch - 7.10.2
  • Apache (reverse proxy) - Apache/2.4.38 (Debian)

The below lines in your log looked interesting and might need some more looking into - some of this may be that you had a forced shutdown. How does your Elasticsearch look? Use this command to check :


curl -XGET "localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty"

Hello,
Adding on to what @tmacgbay suggested. I noticed some configuration that do not look right.

These two settings are the same IP address

http_bind_address = 192.168.37.45:9000

So you can leave this one commented out.

http_publish_uri = http://192.168.37.45:9000/

The reason why is as shown below, this is also stated in your Graylog configuration file.

# If $http_bind_address contains a wildcard IPv4 address (0.0.0.0), the first non-loopback IPv4 address of this machine will be used.
# This configuration setting *must not* contain a wildcard address!
#
# Default: http://$http_bind_address/

`ERROR [VersionProbe] Unable to retrieve version from Elasticsearch node: Failed to connect to /127.0.0.1:9200. - Connection refused (Connection refused).`
[/quote]

By default, Graylog connects to Elasticsearch using 127.0.0.1 in Graylog configuration file. Does your elasticsearch YAML file have the same address?

Does yours look something like this?

cluster.name: graylog
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
network.host: 127.0.0.1
http.port: 9200
action.auto_create_index: false
discovery.type: single-node

If you going to use localhost make sure it is set in your /etc/hosts file.

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

Just curious, where did you see these settings below at in the documentation? They look like there used for Apache.

auditlog_log4j_enabled = true
auditlog_log4j_logger_name = graylog-auditlog

EDIT: I see now, those settings are for the commercial feature.

is "elasticsearch_hosts = http://localhsost:9200 in your server config file?

@tmacgbay
I have to admit that I restored a snapshot taken before upgrading and retried the process, so I’m monitoring the situation right now, because it took one day for my issue to arise. It seems that elasticsearch is fine at the moment, anyways, here’s the output of that command:

{
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "status" : "green",
  "timed_out" : false,
  "number_of_nodes" : 1,
  "number_of_data_nodes" : 1,
  "active_primary_shards" : 90,
  "active_shards" : 90,
  "relocating_shards" : 0,
  "initializing_shards" : 0,
  "unassigned_shards" : 0,
  "delayed_unassigned_shards" : 0,
  "number_of_pending_tasks" : 0,
  "number_of_in_flight_fetch" : 0,
  "task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis" : 0,
  "active_shards_percent_as_number" : 100.0
}

The only thing I changed from the last time is that I stopped the services gracefully before the upgrade.


@gsmith
I missed that piece of information

Thanks, I left it commented now.


My /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml file is all commented out. Is there another one elsewhere? I didn’t get it from the configuration.


@Arie
That line is commented out, so I guess it’s the default configuration.

Update: it already started doing it again.

Update: I managed to figure the source: it’s the Telegram Notification Plugin.
Everytime a Telegram notification is sent, the WebUI crashes.

I found the same issue in this post, where it’s said that I have to remove enterprise plugin to be able to get it to work.
Thing is: I need both plugins.

What should I do?

Contact the developer of the plugin and either request and update or offer to help update the code if you can. :slight_smile:

Hello,

During your install of elasticsearch you should have configured your elasticsearch.yml

It at the bottom of the page.
https://docs.graylog.org/docs/configure

For example here is my lab GL server es.yml file.

[root@graylog elasticsearch]# cat /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml | egrep -v "^\s*(#|$)"
cluster.name: graylog
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
network.host: 10.10.6.10
http.port: 9200
action.auto_create_index: false
discovery.type: single-node
path.repo: ["/etc/elasticsearch/my_repo"]
[root@graylog elasticsearch]#

By you stating that elasticsearch.yml file is all commented out, at this point I’m assuming there are some configuration issues happening.

I guess that is the source of the issue and I could only work from GitHub at this point.

Thanks
