System has 4 cores; 16GB RAM, 450GB dedicated HDD for data only.
This same system ran the pre-ELK version of SO just fine for 6mos. - never a single issue.
Both /nsm and /var/lib/mysql have been moved to a secondary disk (/data2) and all modifications were made per the various threads and SO-repo instructions. AppArmor has been triple-checked for any oversights (i.e. the tcpdump and mysql files in /etc/apparmor.d & /etc/apparmor.d/local)
SOSTAT is attached and a previous thread re: this issue is linked below.

(1) All of the instances when the error is seen following a failed pivot attempt involve a Kibana log entry that has the required 5-tuple of timestamp, sip, sport, dip, dport.
(2) There is no activity in the /var/log/nsm/[ HOSTNAME ]-[ INTERFACE ]/pcap_agent.log file when the error message is thrown.
(3) Pivots from squert also fail but no error is thrown - they just hang. This is also intermittent in that every once in a while, one will work but the majority just hang.
(4) The load on this box in not huge - the monitored link is < 50Mbps at peak with typical sustained traffic flow at 2-10Mbps.
I performed a brand new truly basic installation of 14.04.5.13 + all SOUP updates and the squert\Kibana pcap issues persist. This install does not have any secondary drive mappings or other operational tweaks - this is as default as an install can get.
If anyone has any insights and\or ideas, let me know. I have saved the inoperable VMs so I can easily spin those back up if need be. I would love to get ELK working but for now, it appears it is missing key functionality needed for my environment.
Thanks.
Of course, I then tried the Kibana part of this and that is still not working properly...
Looks like I was able to resolve the squert + capme part of this by clearing cookies\cached items. Wouldn't have thought something that mundane would cause capme to hang but nonetheless, it can. I could see this maybe if the same pcap was being attempted but for different pcap pulls to hang...doesn't make sense why that would occur.
Of course, I then tried the Kibana part of this and that is still not working properly...

Was doing some testing and while I have not yet checked all event_types, I can say that the failures thus far have been:
* bro_syslog
* bro_ssl
* snort
Also, it appears these work:
* bro_dns
* bro_conn
I will report back with additional event_types and other info as I discover it.
Thanks.
* bro_files - this is intermittent but actually works at least 50%
* bro_http
* bro_x509
* bro_dns - initially reported as working but I did get a few errors on re-test - works about 70+ of the time

Pivoting from these logs to pcap seems to work fine:

Bizarre...

Also, this one has entries in both Bro conn.log and syslog.log files.

For events that show up in the "Discovery" area, for "today" - meaning that the date is 2/6 or "Today", and data would be in the 'current' pcap directory structure, when I click on the hyperlink for an _ID, CapMe happily shows me the event data.
For events that show up in Discovery for "yesterday" (as in the date is 2/5, clicking on the _ID field fails w/ the same message "Second ES query could not find ID".

The data isn't there. I tried just the relationship event_type:bro_conn AND 172... AND 192... and didn't get results, past 48 hrs, which gives me great pause because... in my case 172.16.0.0 is the DMZ and I thought that I had that segment under monitoring...
SO - I'll check all of the is and ts and then see what I can see. Lots of details to make this work out.
Thanks!
