Troubleshooting Tips: Starting and configuring Elasticsearch and Kibana
1. What happens when I start API Gateway without Elasticsearch?
If Elasticsearch is not configured, the server.log displays the following exception indicating a missing configuration:
Cannot invoke "com.softwareag.apigateway.core.datastore.AbstractDataStoreClient.getDataStoreConfiguration()" because the return value of "com.softwareag.apigateway.core.datastore.ElasticsearchClientFactory.getDataStoreClient()" is null.
When
API Gateway initialization fails, the WmAPIGateway package does not load and the UI is not accessible. For more information regarding the supported Elasticsearch and Kibana versions and their compatibility with different systems, see

Compatibility Matrix.
2. Does the installer provide any indications about the Elasticsearch dependency when I select API Gateway?

3. How can I verify if my API Gateway instance is connected to Elasticsearch?
