In one of my environment Orient Me suddenly stopped working and even a reboot of your Linux machine did not help. My colleague Matt Milza pointed me in the right direction to solve this issue: Check your systems disk space with df . You may be seeing that your / has run out of space: Unfortunately there is a bug in the first release of Orient Me that will continue writing logs into /var/lib/elasticsearch/data/elasticsearch-default/nodes/0/indices until all space is used: The solution is simple: Delete all content in this folder ( rm -rf * ) and restart your machine. Then Orient Me should be happily…

Leave a CommentGiven that Orient Me is based on technology unfamiliar to many folks that had been working with Connections before, some people might be struggling with installing it. I have created a guide that should help you getting it running for a demo environment with everything from Orient Me (Kubernetes, Docker, all Boot-, Master- and Workersnodes) on a single CentOS image and help you integrate it with your Connections 6.0 server.
