Issues with post install command

[Zdroikd]

So i can get all the way to through the install and i check that all the right services are running and working. then when i run the last post_install_local command it throws this error:

Am i missing something?

then even if i try to check the verify post install commands nothing is there.

You could try running the post_install again. Often we need to wait between the first and second installers.

This will happen if the API isn't up and running yet for kibana / fleet

My recommendation during install is to wait 10 or so minutes for everything to be up before running post install.

We are looking at ways to streamline this.

Other debugging steps:

You can try

ansible-playbook -vvvv post_install_local.yml

To get max verbosity of log output from ansible.

Also, in the post install yaml you could update the - name: Create Endpoint Policy job to say:

- name: Create Endpoint Policy
  uri:
    url: "{{ local_kbn_url }}/api/fleet/agent_policies?sys_monitoring=true"
    method: POST
    user: "{{ elastic_username }}"
    password: "{{ elastic_password }}"
    force_basic_auth: yes
    validate_certs: no
    headers: "{{ headers }}"
    body_format: json
    body:
      name: "Endpoint Policy"
      description: ""
      namespace: "default"
      monitoring_enabled: ["logs", "metrics"]
      inactivity_timeout: 1209600
    timeout: 600
  register: endpoint_policy_result

This should get rid of the no debug output...

We have identified an issue where sometimes kibana will reboot during install. If this happens when you're running post install itll break.

We are working on a fix -- but until then what youd want to do is install the first install package and wait about 10 minutes to ensure everything has been up and stable. THEN run post install.
