On my server I have installed elasticsearch-2.2.1 and couchbase server version 4.1.0. The aim is to transfer data from bucket x on couchbase to elastic search.
Ive installed the transport-couchbase plugin on elastic-search which will basically allow for xdcr from the server to elastic search.
As I understand it, transport-couchbase listens by default on port 9091 so in essence I'm supposed to create a cluster reference that points to that port (both couchbase and elastic search are installed on the same machine).
When I try create the reference I get an internal server error. The logs don't give me much information regarding the issue and I can ping the port. However when I try to telnet the machine on the port it refuses connection.
the server is sitting behind a proxy and i am starting to think that the issue lies within either couchbase server or elasticsearch ( transport-couchbase plugin)
Im going out on a limb here but I think maybe im supposed to configure the plugin so that it accepts requests going through tthe proxy. If this is the issue, is there a way to embed proxy settings into the plugin so that it can accept connections for xdcr?
PS: When I did this whole process on a separate machine that isnt sitting behind a proxy, everything worked fine. So I have a strong suspicion that it is proxy issues
If you can't telnet or browse to port 9091, this most likely indicates a network config issue. The plugin binds to the interface that elasticsearch binds to. The first thing to check is that the bind_host and publish_host in elasticsearch.yml is configured to bind to an interface that allows connections from wherever the proxy is located and that the proxy is really connecting on that interface.
