[BUG] Opensearch operator is not powering up dashboard pods

[euruba]

I have this configuration:

        - "data"      
    - component: nodes
      replicas: 1
      diskSize: "30Gi"
      nodeSelector:
      resources:
         requests:
            memory: "2Gi"
            cpu: "500m"
         limits:
            memory: "2Gi"
            cpu: "500m"
      roles:

            memory: "2Gi"
            cpu: "500m"
      roles:
        - "ingest"

And when I boot the cluster, the dashboard never boot.

I don´t know how to search what is failling.

Best regards

I am experiencing the exact same behaviour.

Hey @euruba,
In my case the problem was that I turned on

monitoring:
enable: true

but no prometheus monitoring crs where installed causing the operator to fail reconciling which leads to the point that dashboard pod wills never be spawned.

Try to disable monitoring or install the proper CRDs in your cluster.

As a hint its always worth checking the logs of the oprator :) thats my personal learning

@VincSch Thanks. Disabled Monitoring and it created the dashboards.

Hey @euruba @VincSch @dhawaldenny, this should also work when monitoring is enabled, did you all follow the instructions listed here https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-k8s-operator/blob/main/docs/userguide/main.md#adding-opensearch-monitoring-to-your-cluster, can you please confirm?
