Fail to create "Filebeat" with release package 4.2.0

[lyr3051]

Hi

I tried to use the release package 4.2.0 to create the "filebeat" container, but it return the error message.

I tried the below method and adjusted the setting of volumes in docker-compose.filebeat.yml, the filebeat container is created successfully.

Have you met this issue in your lab before?
Is this adjustment the correct way to fix the issue in this solution?

That's very likely because docker-compose cannot find the .env file and that's why many of required variables are missing. Have you used the following command?

docker-compose --env-file .env -f filebeat/docker-compose.filebeat.yml up -d

Hi @cwiechmann
I used the old command docker-compose -f filebeat/docker-compose.filebeat.yml.

However, if I don't adjust the setting of the volumes, it still responses with the same error message after trying the command you provided.

Still, I saw this error, when the attributes (e.g. APIGATEWAY_TRACES_FOLDER) for the volumes are missing. Then, you end up with the following instruction:
- :/var/log/trace
Which is obviously not correct.

Now, as you have added the addtional / you essentially end up with the following instead:
- /:/var/log/trace
Now, the container is created, but very likely the volumes are not correctly mapped, because you just map the root of your filesystem into the container instead of the log-directory.

Please check the parameters in your .env file:

APIGATEWAY_OPENTRAFFIC_FOLDER=/home/localuser/Axway-x.y.z/apigateway/logs/opentraffic
APIGATEWAY_TRACES_FOLDER=/home/localuser/Axway-x.y.z/apigateway/groups/group-2/instance-1/trace
APIGATEWAY_EVENTS_FOLDER=/home/localuser/Axway-x.y.z/apigateway/events
APIGATEWAY_AUDITLOGS_FOLDER=/home/localuser/Axway-x.y.z/apigateway/logs
APIGATEWAY_PAYLOADS_FOLDER=/home/localuser/Axway-x.y.z/apigateway/logs/payloads

And make sure, the .env file is really used. There is no need to change the docker-compose file for filebeat.

Hi @cwiechmann
Thanks for your help.
The issue is resolved because I misconfigure a parameter in my .env so that the path of the parameter couldn't be find.
