Reporting Troubleshooting
editReporting Troubleshooting
editText is Not rendered correctly in generated reports
editIf a report label is rendered as an empty rectangle, no system fonts are available. Install at least one font package on the system.
If the report is missing certain Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters, ensure that a system font with those characters is installed.
Error generating your report
editYou might see "There was an error generating your report" or one of the following errors when you download your report. See below for an explanation of why the failure occurred and what you can do to fix it.
You must install fontconfig and freetype for Reporting to work'
editReporting using PhantomJS, the default browser, relies on system packages. Install the appropriate fontconfig and freetype packages for your distrobution.
Max attempts reached (3)
editThere are two primary causes of this error:
-
You’re creating a PDF of a visualization or dashboard that spans a large amount of data and Kibana is hitting the
xpack.reporting.queue.timeout
- Kibana is hosted behind a reverse-proxy, and the Kibana server settings are not configured correctly
Create a Markdown visualization and then create a PDF report. If this succeeds, increase the xpack.reporting.queue.timeout
setting. If the PDF report fails with "Max attempts reached (3)," check your Kibana server settings.
You must install freetype and ttf-font for Reporting to work
editReporting using the Chromium browser relies on system packages and at least one system font. Install the appropriate fontconfig and freetype packages for your distrobution and at least one system font.
You must install nss for Reporting to work
editReporting using the Chromium browser relies on the Network Security Service libraries (NSS). Install the appropriate nss package for your distrobution.
Unable to use Chromium sandbox. This can be disabled at your own risk with 'xpack.reporting.capture.browser.chromium.disableSandbox'
editChromium uses sandboxing techniques that are built on top of operating system primitives. The Linux sandbox depends on user namespaces, which were introduced with the 3.8 Linux kernel. However, many distrobutions don’t have user namespaces enabled by default, or they require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.
Elastic recommends that you research the feasibility of enabling unprivileged user namespaces before disabling the sandbox. An exception is if you are running Kibana in Docker because the container runs in a user namespace with the built-in seccomp/bpf filters.
spawn EACCES
editEnsure that the phantomjs
binary in your Kibana data directory is owned by the user who is running Kibana, that the user has the execute permission,
and if applicable, that the filesystem is mounted with the exec
option.
Caught error spawning Chromium
editEnsure that the headless_shell
binary located in your Kibana data directory is owned by the user who is running Kibana, that the user has the execute permission,
and if applicable, that the filesystem is mounted with the exec
option.
