6.2.1

Elasticsearch and Kibana 6.0 on Azure

This release adds support for deploying Elasticsearch and Kibana 6.0 to Azure! the default Elasticsearch and Kibana version in this template version is 6.2.1

Features

• #165 Add support for Elasticsearch and Kibana 6.x

  Adds the 6.x versions of Elasticsearch and Kibana to the template.

  A unique bootstrap password can be provided to the template to set the bootstrap.password in the elasticsearch keystore. If not supplied, a unique value is generated within the ARM template, using the uniqueString() function seeded with the resourceGroup id, deployment name and securityAdminPassword.

  Add securityLogstashPassword parameter to use for the logstash_system built-in user account in Elasticsearch 5.2.0+.

Enhancements

• #165 Add nofail to the default mount options as recommended in the docs

• #165 Remove sudo calls within the scripts. Must be run as root already and using sudo does not transfer environment variables.

• #165 Increase retries to 60 to wait a total of 5 minutes for an Elasticsearch node to come up

• #165 Comment out conf-enabled include in monit configuration to suppress the superfluous warning written to stderr.

• #165 Update 14.04 SKU for Elasticsearch 2.x

• #165 Remove java8 apt package patching

  oracle-java8-installer apt package has now been updated to use 161 so use the package as is

Bug fixes

• #165 Write log files to /var/log/elasticsearch.

  When unspecified, Elasticsearch 6.x will attempt to write log files to /usr/share/elasticsearch/logs which the elasticsearch user under which the service runs does not have access to do.

• #165 Always set path.data, even for master and client nodes.

  When unspecified, Elasticsearch 6.x will attempt to write data to /usr/share/elasticsearch/data which the elasticsearch user under which the service runs does not have access to do.

• #165 Check that the elastic user has been set up.

  This guards against an edge case where securityBootstrapPassword is the same as securityAdminPassword in 6.x, or securityAdminPassword is the same as the default password in 5.x

Deprecations

• #165 Remove kibana4_server generated password.

  Better alignment of the es_kibana user in 2.x and the built-in kibana user in 5.x+.

  In 2.x, the es_kibana user is now assigned the kibana4_server role and the kibana4 role
  is removed. Kibana will use the es_kibana user credentials when interacting with Elasticsearch.

• #165 Disallow Standard_A0 and Standard_A1 SKUs for Kibana VM. Both SKUs have insufficient RAM to run the Kibana optimizer process.

• #165 Remove EOL'ed 2.x versions

  Remove the ability to deploy 2.x versions of Elasticsearch
  and associated Kibana that are no longer supported by Elastic

5.6.6

Enhancements

• #160 Update Ubuntu SKUs to newer 14.04-LTS and 16.04-LTS releases

5.5.1

Features

• #140 Add support for Elasticsearch and Kibana 5.5.1

Enhancements

• #138 Remove hardcoded Azure regions list from the template; the location parameter will accept a value of ResourceGroup to deploy resources to the same location as the resource group, or will accept any other string value. The template will rely on the Azure template validation to validate that this string value is a valid Azure region string e.g. "australia southeast"

Bug Fixes

• #138 Fix a regression whereby resources were always being deployed to the same Azure region as the resource group. Now, resources will be deployed to the Azure region specified by the location parameter, defaulting to the same Azure region as the Resource Group (as before).
