(Conditional – Intelligence) If Pods are in CrashLoopBackOff State

When configuring the EFS for deploying Intelligence in AWS, even after setting the permissions in the arcsight-volume folder to 1999:1999, the Elasticsearch and Logstash pods enter into a CrashLoopBackOff state from a Running state.

If the pods enter into the CrashLoopBackOff state, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the bastion host.

  2. Navigate to the following directory and set the permissions to 1999:1999 again:

    cd /mnt/efs/<parent_folder_name>
    sudo chown -R 1999:1999 arcsight-volume
  3. Wait for the Elasticsearch and Logstash pods to come up.

  4. If the pods enter into a Running state and then into a CrashLoopBackOff state, keep repeating steps 2 and 3 till the pods are stable, that is, they do not move from the Running state to the CrashLoopBackOff state.
