Elasticsearch.Net Library for .NET Core with Docker linux container not working

Hi ,

I am not sure if anyone reported the following issue.

  • When using ASP.NET Core with Linux Docker container , _bulk api is not working however same works fine if we run same code using Visual Studio. Below are my test code using Visual Studio 2017

Sample Code snippet for connecting ElasticSearch and Post 2 JSON using _bulk
var payload = new List();
payload.Add("{"index":{"_index":"logstash-2018.05.10","_type":"logevent"}}");
payload.Add(
"{"@timestamp":"2018-05-07T09:57:25.8993627+02:00","level":"Information","messageTemplate":"Hello, world!","message":"Hello, world!"}");

var uri = new Uri("http://localhost:9200");
var configuration = new ConnectionConfiguration(uri);
client.Bulk(PostData.MultiJson(payload));

This code works fine when using visual studio but get exception when using linux docker container . Below is the stack trace

Exception (Stack Trace)

Unsuccessful low level call on POST: /_bulk\n# Audit trail of this API call:\n - [1] BadRequest: Node: http://localhost:9200/ Took: 00:00:00.1886777\n# OriginalException: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request. ---> System.Net.Http.CurlException: Couldn't connect to server\n at System.Net.Http.CurlHandler.ThrowIfCURLEError(CURLcode error)\n at System.Net.Http.CurlHandler.MultiAgent.FinishRequest(StrongToWeakReference1 easyWrapper, CURLcode messageResult)\n --- End of inner exception stack trace ---\n at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()\n at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)\n at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ConfiguredTaskAwaitable1.ConfiguredTaskAwaiter.GetResult()\n at System.Net.Http.HttpClient.d__58.MoveNext()\n--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---\n at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()\n at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)\n at Elasticsearch.Net.HttpConnection.Request[TResponse](RequestData requestData)

The issue looks to be related to being able to connect to Elasticsearch

Have you bound the correct Docker container ports to the host?

Hi ,

I have now bounded with port but received JSON invalidation error . But same works fine when I run without using Docker but running in Visual studio 2017 directly. Please note we are using Serilog Elasticsearch sink , which uses Elasticsearch.Net lowlevel client. For testing puposse , I create JSON string , and supply that in Payload (List) and call bulk API with PostData.MultiJson(payload). I see the exception orgin is ElasticSearch.net.

My JSON
"{"index":{"_index":"logstash-2018.05.09","_type":"logevent"}}"
"{"@timestamp":"2018-05-09T11:49:56.7878765+02:00","level":"Information","messageTemplate":"Hello, world!","message":"Hello, world!"}"

What version of Serilog Elasticsearch sink are you using, and what version of Elasticsearch are you running against?

Serilog Elasticsearch Sink Version # 6.5.0

ElasticSearch.Net Version # 6.0.0

I also verified with ElasticSearch.net # 6.1.0

Hi ,

I wanted to add one more observation.

When I am using direct REST call to _bulk endpoint , from Docker , I always getting 404 not found. But the same works fine from Windows . for GET operation like _cat/health?v , works both in Linux container and from Visual Studio.

Below are the sample code I am using for POST _bulk operation

var client = new HttpClient(new HttpClientHandler {AllowAutoRedirect = false});

    var message = new HttpRequestMessage(System.Net.Http.HttpMethod.Post,
        new Uri("http://elasticsearch-openshift-tosspoc-dev.ocp.got.volvo.net/_bulk"));
   
        
      var strString1 = "{\"index\":{\"_index\":\"bikashbulktest1\",\"_type\":\"logevent\"}} \n " +
                        "{\"@timestamp\":\"2018-05-07T09:57:25.8993627+02:00\",\"level\":\"Information\",\"messageTemplate\":\"Hello, world!\",\"message\":\"Hello, world!\"}\n";
      

  
        HttpResponseMessage responseMessage = null;
        try
        {
            message.Content = new StringContent(strString1, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

            responseMessage = client.SendAsync(message).Result;


        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            SelfLog.WriteLine("{0}" , ex.InnerException);

        }
        SelfLog.WriteLine("{0}", responseMessage.ToString());
         return responseMessage.ToString();

I found that Centos base docker image had some issue which they solved , which fixes this issue. please close this request
