Kibana Reporting plugin not working

Reporting
#1

I have ELK - 7.10.0 - OSS version and standalone opendistro plugins. I have an issue with reporting plugin. Whenever, I try download report, it always gives error “Error Downloading Report”. Reports contains PNG of dashboard.

Also, I found following logs in elasticsearch log file.

[2021-01-13T13:50:56,282][INFO ][c.a.o.r.a.ReportInstanceActions] [data-1] reports:ReportInstance-info ubS1-3YB7ttttqXFrb1B
[2021-01-13T13:50:56,292][WARN ][c.a.o.r.a.PluginBaseAction] [data-1] reports:ElasticsearchStatusException: message:Permission denied for Report Definition ubS1-3YB7ttttqXFrb1B

How can I download reports ?

Similar issue here but another error. Just upgraded the whole stack (including beats) and started playing around with reports. Reports get generated (based on dashboard) but once I click on ‘PNG’ icon to down load, I get “Error downloading report” message. Kibana logs show a bizarre error indicating that it tries to connect to the localhost:5601 (why???) while my Kibana is not running on default URL at all. Obviously, I did not find anything about the respective configuration (I just hoped that maybe some specific definition for reporting is required in order to let the plugin know about Kibana’s URL).

@dhruvil7doshi and @igorid70 I would go ahead and an issue in at the github repo if you haven’t already GitHub - opendistro-for-elasticsearch/kibana-reports: Kibana Reports .

@searchymcsearchface - thanks, just found this:

I just wonder how it is possible to release a new feature which only works with default host and default port. Really don’t know whether to laugh or to cry

#5

Is there any workaround that can be implemented until the next update ?

I manually builded Kibana source code and then kibana-reports on my local machine. After then, I installed the newly built Kibana Reports on another ELK-7.10-OSS version. But still I am not able to download PNG/PDF reports.

Here is the kibana.log when generating report

You can expect a fix of the related github issue above, in next ODFE release

#9

Moved to reporting category.

If you build from source, the fail to launch Chrome error seems that you don’t have Chromium artifacts placed in the right place, which is ..../kibana-reports/.chromium. You need to create that directory if needed. The artifacts for each OS are available here.
