[Solved] Wazuh-indexer Error: Not yet initialized (you may need to run securityadmin)

Problem:

Running into a "Wazuh dashboard server is not ready yet" error after navigating to the URL in which Wazuh is running:

After running the command system status wazuh-indexer here is what was recorded:



"type": "server", "timestamp": "2022-06-09T16:10:21,804-04:00", "level": "ERROR",
"component": "o.o.s.a.BackendRegistry", "cluster.name": "wazuh-cluster",
"node.name": "wazuh-indexer", "message": "Not yet initialized (you may need to run securityadmin)",
"cluster.uuid": "F9ORymo0SEuKeVZNLw6C0w", "node.id": "2m6uOkrRTbOf-G8YKhywmw"

Solution:

The problem is that the securityadmin module has not yet been initialized.
To do so, run the following command in the folder containing your wazuh-install.sh file(click here to check out the official Wazuh Indexer Installation instructions for more info):



bash wazuh-install.sh --start-cluster

Afterwards, run system restart wazuh-indexer and re-visit the URL in which Wazuh is running.

Hope this helps anyone running into the same issue!
