zLDA setup.py script fails during import with this error: Setting attribute:format:defaultPattern failed

Newsletters


Abstract

Using Elastic Stack 9.0.0 (available on April 15, 2025), the Z Operational Log and Data Analytics (zLDA) setup.py script is unable to import the Elastic Stack insights to Elastic Stack v9.x. The setup.py script fails during import with this error:
Setting attribute:format:defaultPattern failed.

Content

Issue:
The setup.py script included with zLDA does not currently support Elastic Stack v9.x. Attempting to run the script on Elastic Stack 9.0.0 will result in a failure during import, preventing the successful deployment of insights.
Root Cause:
Changes introduced in Elastic Stack v9.x are incompatible with the current setup.py script.
Recommendation:
       Delay upgrades:  Users should postpone migration to Elastic Stack v9.x until Fix Pack 21 becomes available.
Current Supported Versions: zLDA continues to support Elastic Stack 7.x and 8.x at this time.
Additional Information:
       This Flash will be updated as new information becomes available, including the official release of Fix Pack 21.
