Hi, Trying to set up a local development environment in eclipse. I was able to set up all server, web front end projects and also installed elasticsearch to connect with setup. But when I log in to the web UI no Dashboard icons coming with the error complaining, _org.elasticsearch.index.IndexNotFoundException: no such index_ \_ at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.IndexNameExpressionResolver$WildcardExpressionResolver.resolve(IndexNameExpressionResolver.java:581)\_ When I debug; At the startup of server it goes through the OrderModuleInterceptor -\> registerInterceptors method but no indexes were created. This can be confirmed with the URL “[http://localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v](http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v)” not giving any indices. Please I need help on this; Is there any configuration or setting which I missed or not aware? Do I need to setup and run “metasfresh-scripts” and / or “metasfresh-reports” projects? Thanks in advance. regards, Priyanga ---

Hi @priyanga220, i’m not very deep in the matter, but I recommend to take a look at the Dockerfile in [metasfresh-docker](https://github.com/metasfresh/metasfresh-docker)/search … Maybe instead of “manually” installing elastic, you might just want to try spinning up this docker image… Also, maybe the config file [metasfresh-docker](https://github.com/metasfresh/metasfresh-docker)/search/sources/configs/elasticsearch.yml can give you a hint. What i did in the past when I needed the dashboard locally (only once so far…) was i took the docker-compose file and just spun up the search component… I hope that somehow helps… Tobias ---

Hi @metas-ts, Thanks and really appreciate the feedback. I followed your suggestions and setup the docker image on a remote Centos machine. Then I uncommented following lines in yml file to open the relevant ports ``` ports: - "9200:9200" - "9300:9300" ``` and commented below as suggested in other post; - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro I built and ran up only the search project on the docker image and tried to bring the Local dash board by login. Still it gives the same error as I described in the first post. Is there any place (log file etc) where I can check at the start up of server tries to connect to elastic search for indexing? May be it is something with the IPs as Docker is on a Google Cloud Instance or it binds to any IP in elasticsearch.yml file with below line network.host: 0.0.0.0 ? Can someone shed some lights on this matter please? System Setting in AD\_SysConfig\_ID table is also enabled for elasticsearch. Thanks and regards, Priyanga ---

Hi @priyanga220 You shall just start the metasfresh server. From eclipse you can do that by running de.metas.ServerBoot\_mf15 launcher (or de.metas.ServerBoot\_mf15\_jrebel if you have jrebel). On server boot, the elasticsearch index will be created or updated. See: ![](https://forum.metasfresh.org/uploads/default/original/1X/8864e2ddda9daba67057d41a0d65794e8d3df137.png) Alternatively, you can manually force the index creation/update by opening Table and columns window (as System administrator), going to C\_Order table and calling the “Elastic search - Index this table” gear action: ![](https://forum.metasfresh.org/uploads/default/original/1X/60c413934a57cc824c9b3f39249c94b3035f9d4c.png) Hope it helps, Teo ---

HI @teosarca, Thanks for the input. I was able to load the dashboard locally with elasticsearch data. What I missed is starting the server with mentioned launch config. I had only started the webui-api cos I thought starting either one of them would create / update indexes. I had configured the elasticsearch server with docker image remotely. I will try with a local elastic-search server configured manually and provide the result. Again thanks all for providing the valuable support and information. Hope to have your guidance in the future too. 😉
