Quickstart Debugging Guide
For when Quickstart did not work out smoothly.
How can I confirm if all Docker containers are running as expected after a quickstart?
If you set up the datahub CLI tool (see here), you can use the built-in check utility:
datahub docker check
You can list all Docker containers in your local by running docker container ls. You should expect to see a log similar to the below:

Also you can check individual Docker container logs by running docker logs <<container_name>>. For datahub-gms, you should see a log similar to this at the end of the initialization:
2020-02-06 09:20:54.870:INFO:oejs.Server:main: Started @18807ms
For datahub-frontend-react, you should see a log similar to this at the end of the initialization:
09:20:22 [main] INFO play.core.server.AkkaHttpServer - Listening for HTTP on /0.0.0.0:9002
My elasticsearch or broker container exited with error or was stuck forever
If you're seeing errors like below, chances are you didn't give enough resource to docker. Please make sure to allocate at least 8GB of RAM + 2GB swap space.

How can I check if MXE Kafka topics are created?
You can use a utility like kafkacat to list all topics. You can run below command to see the Kafka topics created in your Kafka broker.
kafkacat -L -b localhost:9092
Confirm that MetadataChangeEvent, MetadataAuditEvent, MetadataChangeProposal_v1 and MetadataChangeLog_v1 topics exist besides the default ones.
How can I check if search indices are created in Elasticsearch?
You can run below command to see the search indices created in your Elasticsearch.
curl http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices
Confirm that datasetindex_v2 & corpuserindex_v2 indices exist besides the default ones. Example response as below:

How can I check if data has been loaded into MySQL properly?
Once the mysql container is up and running, you should be able to connect to it directly on localhost:3306 using tools such as MySQL Workbench. You can also run the following command to invoke MySQL Command-Line Client inside the mysql container.
docker exec -it mysql /usr/bin/mysql datahub --user=datahub --password=datahub
Inspect the content of metadata_aspect_v2 table, which contains the ingested aspects for all entities.
Getting error while starting Docker containers
There can be different reasons why a container fails during initialization. Below are the most common reasons:
bind: address already in use
This error means that the network port (which is supposed to be used by the failed container) is already in use on your system. You need to find and kill the process which is using this specific port before starting the corresponding Docker container. If you don't want to kill the process which is using that port, another option is to change the port number for the Docker container. You need to find and change the ports parameter for the specific Docker container in the docker-compose.yml configuration file.
Example : On macOS
ERROR: for mysql Cannot start service mysql: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint mysql (5abc99513affe527299514cea433503c6ead9e2423eeb09f127f87e2045db2ca): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:3306: bind: address already in use
1) sudo lsof -i :3306
2) kill -15 <PID found in step1>
OCI runtime create failed
If you see an error message like below, please make sure to git update your local repo to HEAD.
ERROR: for datahub-mae-consumer Cannot start service datahub-mae-consumer: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused "exec: \"bash\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown
failed to register layer: devmapper: Unknown device
This most means that you're out of disk space (see #1879).
ERROR: for kafka-rest-proxy Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/confluentinc/cp-kafka-rest/manifests/5.4.0: EOF
This is most likely a transient issue with Docker Registry. Retry again later.
toomanyrequests: too many failed login attempts for username or IP address
Try the following
rm ~/.docker/config.json
docker login

Seeing Table 'datahub.metadata_aspect' doesn't exist error when logging in
This means the database wasn't properly initialized as part of the quickstart processs (see #1816). Please run the following command to manually initialize it.
docker exec -i mysql sh -c 'exec mysql datahub -udatahub -pdatahub' < docker/mysql/init.sql
I've messed up my docker setup. How do I start from scratch?
Run the following script to remove all the containers and volumes created during the quickstart tutorial. Note that you'll also lose all the data as a result.
datahub docker nuke
I'm seeing exceptions in DataHub GMS container like "Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Duplicate key com.linkedin.metadata.entity.ebean.EbeanAspectV2@dd26e011". What do I do?
This is related to a SQL column collation issue. The default collation we previously used (prior to Oct 26, 2021) for URN fields was case-insensitive (utf8mb4_unicode_ci). We've recently moved to deploying with a case-sensitive collation (utf8mb4_bin) by default. In order to update a deployment that was started before Oct 26, 2021 (v0.8.16 and below) to have the new collation, you must run this command against your SQL DB directly:
ALTER TABLE metadata_aspect_v2 CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_bin;
I've modified the default user.props file to include a custom username and password, but I don't see the new user(s) inside the Users & Groups tab. Why not?
Currently, user.props is a file used by the JAAS PropertyFileLoginModule solely for the purpose of Authentication. The file is not used as an source from which to
ingest additional metadata about the user. For that, you'll need to ingest some custom information about your new user using the Rest.li APIs or the File-based ingestion source.
For an example of a file that ingests user information, check out single_mce.json, which ingests a single user object into DataHub. Notice that the "urn" field provided will need to align with the custom username you've provided in user.props file. For example, if your user.props file contains:
my-custom-user:my-custom-password
You'll need to ingest some metadata of the following form to see it inside the DataHub UI:
{
"auditHeader": null,
"proposedSnapshot": {
"com.linkedin.pegasus2avro.metadata.snapshot.CorpUserSnapshot": {
"urn": "urn:li:corpuser:my-custom-user",
"aspects": [
{
"com.linkedin.pegasus2avro.identity.CorpUserInfo": {
"active": true,
"displayName": {
"string": "The name of the custom user"
},
"email": "my-custom-user-email@example.io",
"title": {
"string": "Engineer"
},
"managerUrn": null,
"departmentId": null,
"departmentName": null,
"firstName": null,
"lastName": null,
"fullName": {
"string": "My Custom User"
},
"countryCode": null
}
}
]
}
},
"proposedDelta": null
}
I've configured OIDC, but I cannot login. I get continuously redirected. What do I do?
Sorry to hear that!
This phenomena may be due to the size of a Cookie DataHub uses to authenticate its users. If it's too large ( > 4096), then you'll see this behavior. The cookie embeds an encoded version of the information returned by your OIDC Identity Provider - if they return a lot of information, this can be the root cause.
One solution is to use Play Cache to persist this session information for a user. This means the attributes about the user (and their session info) will be stored in an in-memory store in the datahub-frontend service, instead of a browser-side cookie.
To configure the Play Cache session store, you can set the env variable "PAC4J_SESSIONSTORE_PROVIDER" as "PlayCacheSessionStore" for the datahub-frontend container.
Do note that there are downsides to using the Play Cache. Specifically, it will make datahub-frontend a stateful server. If you have multiple instances of datahub-frontend deployed, you'll need to ensure that the same user is deterministically routed to the same service container (since the sessions are stored in memory). If you're using a single instance of datahub-frontend (the default), then things should "just work".
