Root Cause

A request to Elasticsearch lacks required authentication credentials, often due to missing API key or token.

generic

中文

对 Elasticsearch 的请求缺少必要的身份验证凭据，通常是由于缺少 API 密钥或令牌。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Generate a new API key via Kibana or the `POST /_security/api_key` endpoint and include it in the `Authorization` header: `Authorization: ApiKey <base64-encoded-key>`. 
    Generate a new API key via Kibana or the `POST /_security/api_key` endpoint and include it in the `Authorization` header: `Authorization: ApiKey <base64-encoded-key>`.
  2. 90% success Use a valid username and password in the request: `curl -u username:password https://localhost:9200/_cluster/health`. 
    Use a valid username and password in the request: `curl -u username:password https://localhost:9200/_cluster/health`.
  3. 92% success Configure the client with a service account token: `PUT _security/service/elastic/kibana/credential/token` and use it in requests. 
    Configure the client with a service account token: `PUT _security/service/elastic/kibana/credential/token` and use it in requests.

中文步骤

  1. 通过 Kibana 或 `POST /_security/api_key` 端点生成新的 API 密钥，并将其包含在 `Authorization` 头中：`Authorization: ApiKey <base64编码的密钥>`。
  2. 在请求中使用有效的用户名和密码：`curl -u username:password https://localhost:9200/_cluster/health`。
  3. 使用服务账户令牌配置客户端：`PUT _security/service/elastic/kibana/credential/token`，并在请求中使用。

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Disabling security exposes the cluster to unauthorized access and is not a proper fix.

  2. 95% fail

    Restarting does not provide the missing credentials; the error will recur.

  3. 90% fail

    The client still uses old credentials, causing authentication failure.
