Compatibility Issues with Elasticsearch 2.3.5 and Cloud AWS plugin

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Trying to install ELK stack on AWS EC2 instance. Latest Elasticsearch (2.3.5) and Cloud-AWS plugin seem to have some problems. I got errors while running sudo bin/plugin install cloud-aws and service elasticsearch start. The error for the second command is below

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArg umentException: No automatic endpoint could be derived from region [ap-south-1]

Also chrome browser does not display :9200

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi @JohanAgonda,

The Cloud-AWS plugin could not derive the endpoint automatically, so you need to specify it explicitly in elasticsearch.yml (see also docs):

cloud.aws.ec2.endpoint: ec2.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com

Elasticsearch 5 will provide support for automatically deriving the endpoint for this region.

Yeah. That's bad I didn't backport it in 2.4 branch BTW.
