Failed to delete role-mapping – How to solve this Elasticsearch error

Opster Team

Aug-23, Version: 6.8-8.2

Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to delete a specific role mapping due to reasons such as insufficient permissions, incorrect role mapping name, or internal server issues. To resolve this, ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to delete role mappings. Also, verify that the role mapping name is correct. If the problem persists, check the server logs for any internal issues and rectify them.

In addition we recommend you run the Elasticsearch Template Optimizer to fix problems in your data modeling.

It will analyze your templates to detect issues and improve search performance, reduce indexing bottlenecks and optimize storage utilization. The Template Optimizer is free and requires no installation.

                            logger.error(new ParameterizedMessage("failed to delete role-mapping [{}]"; request.getName()); e);
                            listener.onFailure(e);

                        }
                    };
                    client::delete
