Filebeat is not running in ubuntu machine after ELK setup - elastic-stack

I was trying to configure ELK in one of ubuntu server and filebeat in another ubuntu machine. After changing the file configuration which is /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml I am not seeing that filebeat is running.
Where I can check filebeat logs and what I am missing?

if installed filebeat from installer search for log path in /var/log/filebeat.
check for yml for any syntax error and user permission to run the filebeat.

Rancher agent installation: systemctl not found

I have a rancher installation on cloud (integrated with harvester) and a couple of VM's in a local node (with K3os), created with harvester.
Now I would like to connect the K3S cluster running on a VM with rancher, but when I try to run in the VM the script of agent given to me by rancher, it goes into an error:
systemctl: command not found
Am I doing something wrong?
I found the problem.
When you run a VM with k3os, a k3s cluster within it is also started in the VM as mentioned before. So I was wrong choosing "Create a cluster", i should have chosen instead "import a cluster". In this way, the script you run into the VM works perfectly.

How to add hosts to AWX?

I have a VirtualBox Desktop Ubuntu machine with AWX running. I then spun up a separate server Ubuntu machine in VirtualBox. To act as one of my hosts. I took the IP address of the server Ubuntu machine and inputted it as a host in AWX.
After running a playbook I get the error "unreachable."
I did create a credential according to this: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/userguide/credentials.html#machine. And received the same error.
I am looking use AWX to run playbooks on several on-prem Linux boxes/hosts. I am unsure how to configure AWS correctly credentials.

Cannot complete pgadmin4 setup. Apache web server

I've got problem with completing pgadmin4 installation thru sudo /usr/pgadmin4/bin/setup-web.sh command.
During this process instalator does not recognizing that Apache is running and asks me if I want to start it:
The Apache web server is not running. We can enable and start the web server for you to finish pgAdmin 4 installation. Continue (y/n)? y
Then it just spits some errors:
Too few arguments.
Error enabling . Please check the systemd logs
Too few arguments.
Error starting . Please check the systemd logs
So far I havn't found where the logs are stored.
About my apache, I am quite sure that my server is running, because I can connect to it through browser, phpmyadmin is working properly, and service apache2 status returns * apache2 is running. By my understanding apache2 is just fancy word for httpd service, and there is no other service called simply apache.
PostgreSQL seems to work properly from command line, haven't tested if I can connect to it yet, but this shouldn't be the case right?
I am using
**PostgreSQL:** 12.5 (Ubuntu 12.5-0ubuntu0.20.04.1)
**Ubuntu:** Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
**Server:** Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)
I had the same issue for Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20. The /usr/pgadmin4/bin/setup-web.sh script is using 'uname -a' which doesn't contain "Debian" identifier in the return string. Updating this to read /proc/version will allow APACHE to be specified as the Debian variant of apache2.
Change:
UNAME=$(uname -a)
To:
UNAME=$(cat /proc/version)
I had a similar problem with Ubuntu running inside WSL 2. Managed to resolve it by modifying the /usr/pgadmin4/bin/setup-web.sh script. I moved these lines outside of the conditional:
IS_DEBIAN=1
APACHE=apache2
This allowed the installation to progress beyond the Too few arguments. error. There was still an error however:
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Error restarting apache2. Please check the systemd logs
I resolved this by running:
sudo service apache2 restart
After this I tried bringing up the admin page by visiting http://127.0.0.1/pgadmin4 from the Windows host. This still didn't work, and had to connect using the Ubuntu machine's ip address (you can find it out via ifconfig) which finally allowed me to see the login page.

Minikube Start Error (Kubernetes) When Using hyperv Driver on Windows server 2016

I am trying to install Kubernetes on windows server 2016.
I tried to install minikube, and got some errors.
This is the tutorial that I followed:
https://www.assistanz.com/installing-minikube-on-windows-2016-server/
This is the command + error that I got:
PS C:\Windows\system32> minikube start –vm-driver=hyperv –hyperv-virtual-switch=Minikube
Starting local Kubernetes v1.10.0 cluster...
Starting VM... Downloading Minikube ISO

Retrying.

An error has occurred. Would you like to opt in to sending anonymized crash
information to minikube to help prevent future errors?
To opt out of these messages, run the command:
minikube config set WantReportErrorPrompt false

Please enter your response [Y/n]:
Someone knows how to solve it?
I googled it, but no luck.
Thanks!
I was never able to get the config parameters to work with minikube start.
I was able to get past this error using the minikube config commands in PowerShell (should also work at a command prompt):
minikube config set vm-driver hyperv
minikube config set hyperv-virtual-switch ExternalSwitch
minikube config view
minikube delete
minikube start
For more information on the command run: minikube config -h
Looking at the documentation you have provided, I have noticed that the screenshot shows a slight difference to the one they've quote.
I have also found this command in another piece of documentation from kubernetes here, showing the same command as that from the screenshot.
I suggest you try the following command;
minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch=Minikube
It is true that OP has pasted the incorrect command, because there is - instead of --. I tried to pass this arguments to minikube and all you get is an instant error. So the issue must be somewhere else. I remember having similar issue and it got resolved after deleting the .kube and .minikube folders and trying to run it again.
After taking a closer look this tutorial is destined for installation of minikube inside of a Windows Server 2016 Virtual Machine, so you have to have a Nested Virtualization able hardware:
Prerequisites The Hyper-V host and guest must both be Windows Server
2016/Windows 10 Anniversary Update or later. VM configuration version
8.0 or greater. An Intel processor with VT-x and EPT technology -- nesting is currently Intel-only. There are some differences with
virtual networking for second-level virtual machines. See "Nested
Virtual Machine Networking".
So the main question is, is that true in your scenario? Are you trying to perform your steps on Windows Server Hyper-V virtual machine with nested virtualization feature?
If you confirm that I have technical possibilities to check it in that scenario.
Otherwise I recommend using the "traditional way" of running minikube in Windows, according for example to this tutorial.
