Add client role to existing master node

Hi Experts,

I have 2 elasticsearch(7.16.2) monitoring cluster with 3 master + data eligible roles.
I want enabling CCR between them, I am following document for doing this integration.
CCR Link

I have run the below command as the above documents says.

PUT /_cluster/settings
{
  "persistent" : {
    "cluster" : {
      "remote" : {
        "leader" : {
          "seeds" : [
            "127.0.0.1:9300" 
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

After running the command I am getting the following output as

GET /_remote/info

{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
        "reason" : "node [es-mon-data1] does not have the [remote_cluster_client] role"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
    "reason" : "node [es-mon-data1] does not have the [remote_cluster_client] role"
  },
  "status" : 400
}

I tried enabling the client node to my master node 3, but its giving error in elasticsearch.

Please help me to understand why its conflicting.

Thanks,

Edit elasticsearch.yml of each node and customize node.roles

  • Cross-cluster search and cross-cluster replication require the remote_cluster_client role.

Hi @ylasri ,

Thank you for your reply.
I followed the step you suggested, now I am bale to move ahead, but now I am getting this as connection not there.

I am getting this in both cluster.

Thanks,
Tahseen

Any message from logs ?
Are you using SSL for both cluster ?
If yes, check this Configure remote clusters with security | Elasticsearch Guide [8.4] | Elastic

Hi @ylasri ,

It was related to firewall blocked, I opened the firewall port. now its working fine.
I can able to see remote cluster data in primary cluster

Thank you,
Tahseen
