You can see the index progress by going to:

<baseUrl>/rest/indexing/latest/status

Example results looks like the following:

{
"queues": {
"delay": 0,
"event": 0
},
"status": "IDLE"
} 

Result Definitions:

• delay = Minutes in which the index queue is delayed. Either by failures, retries, or other performance reasons
• event = Number of events triggered for index. There are ~2 events per repository. Existing event queue size for indexing is 50k per node.

This provides a look into the current queue. If for some reason there's an event that fails to queue, or there's an error in indexing, it'll be placed onto a queue that delays by 5 minutes. When it sits at zero for a while, we can be confident that indexing is complete (for now). This is a moving target as new events coming in will be added to the queue, but is a good guide for when indexing is done. Overall, as long as search is working, that delayed queue will eventually complete and the status will change to idle.

Ideally you want Elasticsearch through the services that we deploy when you set your environment up by using the installer.

On Linux, you should run the following commands as root (the service will make sure to change into the atlbitbucket user):

# service atlbitbucket_search status
# service atlbitbucket_search start
# service atlbitbucket_search stop

Check if you're hitting this: Test button in Elasticsearch for Bitbucket server results in the access denied

Make sure that you did not update the Elasticsearch username and password in the Bitbucket Server user interface, if this is the case you'll need to reset them by following these steps:

1. locate the $BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/search/buckler/buckler.yml file
2. Retrieve the username (auth.basic.username attribute) and the password (auth.basic.password attribute) and update the ones available to Bitbucket Server in the user interface

If you did not update them, then there is no need to change anything.

Configure details of your Elasticsearch instance within Bitbucket Server

To configure the details of your Elasticsearch instance within the Bitbucket Server UI, go to the Administration settings page, then click Server Settings. At the bottom of the page is where you can configure the details of your Elasticsearch instance.

Important:

Another way to configure connection settings is via bitbucket.properties file (resides in $BITBUCKET_HOME/shared).

1. In the $BITBUCKET_HOME directory, create a new directory called shared.
2. In the $BITBUCKET_HOME/shared directory, create a text file named bitbucket.properties.

3. Add these Elasticsearch properties to the file.

   プロパティ	Parameter name for properties file
   URL	plugin.search.elasticsearch.baseurl
   ユーザ名	plugin.search.elasticsearch.username
   パスワード	plugin.search.elasticsearch.password

In a very specific situation, we saw Elasticsearch completely hang and not write in the logs or bind to its port as defined in BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/search/elasticsearch.yml

The symptoms are:

• tail -f $BITBUCKET_HOME/log/search/bitbucket_search.log
  • Nothing happens
• ps -ef | grep elastic
  • reveals Elasticsearch is up and running
• netstat -tulnp 
  • as atlbitbucket user does not show the port 7992 on listen. You can't see the PID of Elasticsearch listened
• telnet localhost 7992
  • Connection is refused

If you run as atlbitbucket user:

jstack $ELASTIC_SEARCH_PID > elasticsearch_threads.`date +%s`.txt

You will get the following thread dump as a result:

According to the discussion below:

• Running elasticsearch-5.0.0-alpha3 on Ubuntu 14.04 seems to hang

A NFS mount that is unreacheable, for example, could cause such scenario. As the Elasticsearch dev explains, Elasticsearch checks all mount points on your machine during startup.

If you facing that it also means:

That a df on your system won't return the shell line; it will hang indefinitely.

ソリューション

You really need to check which one is the failing mount point. After that, restarting ES works.

If additional troubleshooting is required and the debug log level of the Bitbucket Server to Elasticsearch is required, the following command will enable it:

curl -u <ADMIN_USERNAME> -v -X PUT -d "" -H "Content-Type: application/json" <BASE_URL>/rest/api/latest/logs/logger/com.atlassian.bitbucket.search.internal.indexing/debug

The additional log lines will be added to the atlassian-bitbucket.log file. Refer to the Enable debug logging page for more information and alternative methods to enable debug logging.

You might have some obvious log messages that could help you address the issue.

These are logs you should check:

• $BITBUCKET_HOME/log/atlassian-bitbucket.log
• $BITBUCKET_HOME/log/search/bitbucket_search.log

Verify if the atlbitbucket_search has been created:

ll /etc/init.d/atlbitbucket_search

If the file exists, but the process is not up and running, perform the following command as root:

# service atlbitbucket_search start

# service atlbitbucket status
# service atlbitbucket stop
# service atlbitbucket start

# service atlbitbucket_search status
# service atlbitbucket_search start
# service atlbitbucket_search stop

 Check that the following files are present under BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/search:

├── buckler
│   └── buckler.yml
├── elasticsearch.yml
└── logging.yml

If these files are missing, do the following:

1. Stop atlbitbucket_search
2. Copy the contents of BITBUCKET_INSTALL/elasticsearch/config-template into BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/search

3. Start the atlbitbucket_search service

   # service atlbitbucket_search status
   # service atlbitbucket_search start
   # service atlbitbucket_search stop

   Bitbucket Server 5.0

    Starting with Bitbucket Server 5.0+, there will no longer be a atlbitbucket_search service. Elasticsearch will be started as a result of starting the atlbitbucket service.

4. Follow the steps in the "Check the username/password for Elasticsearch" to retrieve the password from the buckler.yml file and add it to the Search settings.

This unexpected behaviour is currently under investigation and tracked in our public facing issue tracker: BSERV-9056 - Getting issue details... STATUS

[root@mybbs search]# cat elasticsearch.yml
cluster.name: bitbucket_search
node:
  name: bitbucket_bundled

network.host: _localhost_

discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false

Access the Elasticsearch user interface at the Elasticsearch bundled URL. From a browser window running locally on the server where Bitbucket is hosted, hit the following URL: http://localhost:7992

If the following login dialog is displayed, Elasticsearch is up and running:

If you don't have a local browser on the server that is running Bitbucket Server, you should also be able to run the following command successfully:

$ curl -u username:password http://localhost:7992
{
  "name" : "bitbucket_bundled",
  "cluster_name" : "bitbucket_search",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "2.3.1",
    "build_hash" : "bd980929010aef404e7cb0843e61d0665269fc39",
    "build_timestamp" : "2016-04-04T12:25:05Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "5.5.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

または

$ telnet localhost 7992
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
 
 $ netstat -an | grep 7992

メモ:

• As a result on your browser, you should expect to see something similar to that on your browser:

{
  "name" : "bitbucket_bundled",
  "cluster_name" : "bitbucket_search",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "2.3.1",
    "build_hash" : "bd980929010aef404e7cb0843e61d0665269fc39",
    "build_timestamp" : "2016-04-04T12:25:05Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "5.5.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

You can see more details on Rebuild Elasticsearch index.

pgrep -fl elasticsearch

or its equivalent

ps -ef | grep elasticsearch

This would reveal if your server is listening on port 7992 on Linux and which PID is doing it:

$ netstat -tulnp
