Hi,

I am trying to configure the cross cluster search on 2 clusters on elastic cloud (both of them are on cloud: 2 zones 3 nodes each, elastic version 6.2.3).

I have followed the instruction (PUT \_cluster/settings) to configure via cluster API from here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-cross-cluster-search.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-cross-cluster-search.html)

As these clusters comes per-installed with X-Pack, I have also applied recommendation from here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/cross-cluster-configuring.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/cross-cluster-configuring.html) in setting up common roles and assigning proper privileges on both the cluster.

but I keep getting error when I make request from kibana or rest client :

{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "connect\_transport\_exception",  
"reason": "[][X.X.X.X:9243] general node connection failure"  
}  
],  
"type": "transport\_exception",  
"reason": "unable to communicate with remote cluster [common]",  
"caused\_by": {  
"type": "connect\_transport\_exception",  
"reason": "[][X.X.X.X:9243] general node connection failure",  
"caused\_by": {  
"type": "illegal\_state\_exception",  
"reason": "handshake failed",  
"caused\_by": {  
"type": "transport\_exception",  
"reason": "connection reset"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"status": 500  
}

Does Elastic Cloud even supports cross cluster search, if it does, are there any other setup instructions I am missing? Is there are any documentation I need to follow to make this work.
