Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The dynamic seeding is inefficient and user's with visibility to a large number of projects exposes this issue by making too many calls to the Elasticsearch cluster. Additionally, there is no caching for user requests causing the seeding process to occur more frequently. Consequence: Calls to Elasticsearch can timeout before a response is returned. Fix: Introduce caching of the API calls and ACL seeding Result: Dynamic seeding is more efficient reducing the opportunity for page timeouts.

Comment 3 Jeff Cantrill 2019-05-02 14:49:11 UTC
I did not see anything in the logs which would indicate permissions are not seeding properly.  Consider the following:

* Have they cleared their browser cache?  Does this problem still exist when using an incognito browser?
* Are there any errors on the browser side that can be posted here
* Is their high network latency between ES and Kibana which could be causing issues [1]
* Can you ask them to log in again and dump the permissions within 60s [2]

Any latency may require them to bump the request timeout [3] which we patched into Kibana 5 with [4]

Comment 9 Jeff Cantrill 2019-05-06 19:46:07 UTC
Try the following:

1. rsh into one of the ES pods
2. change to the $HOME/sgconfig dir which should be a child to the one in which you are initially placed
3. Edit the sg_action_group.yaml file and add SEARCH to this group [1] 
4. Run 'es_seed_acl' - this will reseed the permissions

Note this is a work around and only temporary.  If any of the pods are restarted, you will need to re-execute these steps.

Also note the permission script from c#3 is only useful when run within 60s of the initial failure.  Permissions are expired after that time.

Josh,

I am unable to reproduce locally.  Can you provide the all the steps interacting with Kibana? (e.g. log in, click discover, execute search, etc0
