Elastalert: ElastAlert not starting: "ElasticSearchClient object has no attritbute 'ccr'"

[mosh1mo]

Hi,

I'm new to ElastAlert. I tried to install it using the follwing steps:

sudo git clone https://github.com/Yelp/elastalert.git
sudo pip3 install "setuptools>=11.3"
sudo python3 setup.py install
sudo pip3 install "elasticsearch>=5.0.0"

When I try to run just the command "elastalert" i get the follwing error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/fpadmin/.local/bin/elastalert", line 11, in
sys.exit(main())
File "/home/fpadmin/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/elastalert/elastalert.py", line 2034, in main
client = ElastAlerter(args)
File "/home/fpadmin/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/elastalert/elastalert.py", line 138, in __init__
self.rules = self.rules_loader.load(self.conf, self.args)
File "/home/fpadmin/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/elastalert/loaders.py", line 125, in load
raise EAException('Error loading file %s: %s' % (rule_file, e))
elastalert.util.EAException: Error loading file example_rules/example_new_term.yaml: Error initializing rule Example new term rule: Error searching for existing terms: AttributeError("'ElasticSearchClient' object has no attribute 'ccr'",)

I'm a little bit lost here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running ubuntu 18.04 and python 3.6.7.

I have a similar issue that just started today:

AttributeError: 'ElasticSearchClient' object has no attribute 'ccr'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "/home/elastalert/elastalert/elastalert/elastalert.py", line 2056, in <module>
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:]))
  File "/home/elastalert/elastalert/elastalert/elastalert.py", line 2050, in main
    client = ElastAlerter(args)
  File "/home/elastalert/elastalert/elastalert/elastalert.py", line 169, in __init__
    self.writeback_es = elasticsearch_client(self.conf)
  File "/home/elastalert/elastalert/elastalert/util.py", line 327, in elasticsearch_client
    return ElasticSearchClient(es_conn_conf)
  File "/home/elastalert/elastalert/elastalert/__init__.py", line 30, in __init__
    client_key=conf['client_key'])
  File "/home/elastalert/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/elasticsearch/client/__init__.py", line 239, in __init__
    self.xpack = XPackClient(self)
  File "/home/elastalert/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/elasticsearch/client/xpack/__init__.py", line 42, in __init__
    setattr(self, namespace, getattr(self.client, namespace))

I was able to get Elastalert to work by commenting out the following lines in /home/elastalert/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/elasticsearch/client/xpack/__init__.py:

#        for namespace in XPACK_NAMESPACES:
#            setattr(self, namespace, getattr(self.client, namespace))

This makes me wonder if this is an underlying problem with the elasticsearch module for Python.
