[bitnami/elasticsearch] No processor type exists with name [inference]

[alimoezzi]

Name and Version

bitnami/elasticsearch:8.15.0

What architecture are you using?

amd64

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Inference processor although it's available in kibana but upon creating an ingest pipeline with inference processor results in the following error:

No processor type exists with name [inference] 

This processor works with no problem with docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.15.0

What is the expected behavior?

Bitnami build should include this processor as the official image also contains it both in kibana and elasticsearch.

What do you see instead?

Kibana includes the option but upon saving this error is raised:

No processor type exists with name [inference]

Additional information

Checked 8.15.1 and issue still persists.

Hi @alimoezzi, thank you for opening this issue. Can you describe and share how are you running the elasticsearch stack? Are you using the Helm Chart? Do you run the containers directly? Please, give us some more details so we can try to reproduce the issue on our side.

[alimoezzi]

I have tested both containers and helm chart and none of them works.

[alimoezzi]

To reproduce the issue, you need to create a pipeline with inference Processor. Also, this processor is missing in the cluster info.

[alimoezzi]

I think it is related to disabled ML by default in both container and helm chart.
I tried to enable it but then the cluster doesn't turn on. In this case I think for sure Bitnami build is the cause as official build works with no problem.

Hi @alimoezzi,

Sorry for the delay on getting back to you. Can you provide us with more information on how to reproduce the issue and how to enable the ML features so we can test it on our side? According to the official docs linked below you have to download and install your own ML model into the stack first and then create the inference type processor using the installed model.

Did you find any error following those steps? I have found the "Inference" processor type under the "Stack Management" > "Ingest pipelines" > "Create pipeline" > "Add a processor" menu
