Sgadmin.bat script fails to initialize the sg admin

When I run the following command :

sgadmin.bat -icl -nhnv -cert D:\p4\near-dev_bjadav1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\config\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0\elasticServerSecurity\elasticserver.admin.crt -key D:\p4\near-dev_bjadav1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\config\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0\elasticServerSecurity\elasticserver.admin.key -cacert D:\p4\near-dev_bjadav1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\config\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0\elasticServerSecurity\elasticserver.root.crt -cd D:\p4\near-dev_bjadav1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\config\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0\sgConfig -p 8492

I get the following error :slight_smile:

Additional data:

I see the error saying ...sg_action_groups.yml is not in SG 7 format... for every config file. Do you upgrade from ES v6 to v7? Look at your config files and read the latest doc, see if you have the correct syntax. Security for Elasticsearch | Search Guard Documentation

so the search guard-7 file format issue was fixed by me. However I am now getting the following error :

D:\p4\near_bjadav_dev_vm_1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\services\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0>D:\p4\near_bjadav_dev_vm_1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\services\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0\plugins\search-guard-7\tools\sgadmin.bat -icl -nhnv -cert D:\p4\near_bjadav_dev_vm_1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\config\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0\elasticServerSecurity\elasticserver.admin.crt -key D:\p4\near_bjadav_dev_vm_1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\config\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0\elasticServerSecurity\elasticserver.admin.key -cacert D:\p4\near_bjadav_dev_vm_1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\config\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0\elasticServerSecurity\elasticserver.root.crt -cd D:\p4\near_bjadav_dev_vm_1\workgroup\data\nlp-tsm\config\elasticserver_0.near.0.0.0\sgConfig -p 8309

Error: Unable to initialize main class com.floragunn.searchguard.tools.SearchGuardAdmin

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/elasticsearch/client/transport/NoNodeAvailableException

Any idea, why I would keep getting this error?

Thanking You,

It looks like there is a problem with the SG configuration.

I don’t see the error stack trace. Please paste the full error text, including the error stack. Do you see any error in Elasticsearch while executing the sgadmin. Paste the Elasticsearch error too.

One more thing, execute it in the diagnose mode:

./sgadmin.sh -diagnose ...
