Zipkin + Elasticsearch (ELK) not create index

Question

Hi everyone!

I have "ELK" (6.4.2) working perfectly with filebeat, metricbeat, packetbeat and winlogbeat in CentOS 7 x86_64 (Kernel 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64).

I'm trying to integrate zipkin + elk (see https://logz.io/blog/zipkin-elk/ ), but Elasticsearch does not create indices with Kibana.

When trying to create the indices in Kibana, the process does not end. (Follow logs below).

I suspect the zipkin connection drivers are not compatible with elk 6.4.2. Has anyone had the same problem and has a "light at the end of the tunnel"?

Tks for all!

Java version:

java version "1.8.0_181"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)

Zipkin startup:

java -DSTORAGE_TYPE=elasticsearch -DES_HOSTS=http://localhost:9200 -jar /opt/zipkin.io/bin/zipkin.jar

Error log in Elasticsearch:

Here is the related issue:

we also mentioned recently that for data to appear, applications need to be
sending traces

https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin#quick-start

you can tell also by hitting the /metrics endpoint and look at stats named
collector

I opened a issue on the zipkin github, a theme already being treated as a bug.
