Something went wrong during the adapter installation

[Bauaser-kun]

Hello
I've gotten rather mysterious error message while creating new adapter of any kind. (I tried to many different and all are returning the same message).
Initialy the adapter was suppoused to connect to VM by IP (kafka adapter) and I got to load schema properly from topic, the message occurs on last step.
This occours on our development envireonment, on custom-made environment (streampipes env --set streampipes-element-custom)
the file setting this environment looks like this.
Have anyone faced similiar issue?

[environment:pipeline-element-custom]  
backend  
consul  
couchdb  
kafka  
ui  
zookeeper  
influxdb  
extensions-all-jvm

I use Apache streampipes 0.93.

Hi @Bauaser-kun,
Sorry, I didn't have this problem before. But I have some questions to find the cause of the problem:

• Are the icons of the adapters and processing elements displayed correctly?
• Can you check the logs of the services backend and extensions-all-jvm? Have these services been started without exception? Is there an exception when you try to start the adapter?

Cheers,
Philipp

Sorry for the late reply.
All icons are showing properly both in adapter creation and pipelines views.
I've checked logs. The extension-all-jvm log ends on february 29th approximetely the time I first time tried to create adapter, the last log is:

Error grabbing logs: invalid character '\x00' looking for beginning of value

The backend log for today's streampipe startup is working but it indeed shows some errors from the very beggining - even though all containers seem to be up properly while they are initialized i find the following error :

backend_1             | 2024-03-04T07:50:13.789Z ERROR 1 --- [pool-1-thread-1] o.a.s.c.m.management.WorkerRestClient    : Adapter was not started successfully
backend_1             | 
backend_1             | org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to 172.31.0.7:8090 [/172.31.0.7] failed: Connection refused```

I assume that this is the OOTB adapter as it was definitely not created by me neither anyone else at my company.
But after that the same error occours for every single adapter we have already created in our pipelines. Then after around 15 seconds seconds the adapters are starting again, this time succesfully.

And then when I try to create new adapter I got this

```backend_1             | 2024-03-04T08:25:17.925Z  INFO 1 --- [nio-8030-exec-5] o.a.s.rest.impl.connect.AdapterResource  : User: [email protected] starts adapter sp:org.apache.streampipes.connect.iiot.protocol.stream.kafka

Hi @Bauaser-kun thanks for providing the logs.
That's a rather strange error so here are just some initial thoughts:

• In 0.93.0, we eliminated Consul and configurations such as the messagingSettings which are null according to the logs are now provided directly from a CouchDB document.
• The config is written either at installation time or when upgrading the system.
• Did you start from an empty installation or did you upgrade from a previous version? If yes, which was the version you had installed before doing the upgrade?
• It would be interesting to check the couchdb (you can log in to the web interface at http://COUCHDB_HOST:5984/_utils). Is there a database called general-configuration and document core in the database? If yes, does it include the messaging settings?
