[Error]Remote reindex connect_exception with Timeout

I'm trying to reindex from a remote from Self Manged instance to an Elastic cloud instance.

But I'm getting a timeout error:

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"connect_exception","reason":"Timeout connecting to [XXXX.elb.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/XX.XX.XX.XXX:9200]","status":500}]

I have confirmed that connectivity to cluster to using the elb dns name can recieve a connection on the specified port but using curl, and this is succeding without any problem.

I have even disabled all authentication in case that the problem was originated by it. The connection setup is using http but regardless of this I also have disabled the ssl verification and whitelisted all incoming domains in an attempt to exclude some issues on that front applying.

reindex.remote.whitelist: ["*:*"]
reindex.ssl.verification_mode: none

The error suggest that there is a connectivity problem from the Elastic cloud towards our instance. But I cannot see any connection error on the logs that give me any more details, and since I can stablish a connection succesfully from internet I'm a bit stuck.
I have tried using different IP and locations to rule out we have some firewall that is blocking Internet access but this doesn't seem to be the case (as I expected).

Any suggestion on how to perform further connectivity tests originating from the Elastic Cloud would be highly appreciated, or perhaps a way to pull some detailed logs on the error apart of a 500.

Extra information:

  • Origin request:
curl --location 'https://XXXXX.eu-north-1.aws.elastic-cloud.com:9243/_reindex' \                ─╯
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: ApiKey XXXXXXX' \
--data '{
  "max_docs": 1,
  "source": {
    "remote": {
      "host": "http://XXXXXXX.elb.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com:9200"
    },
    "index": "test.staging"
  },
  "dest": {
    "index": "reindex.tes.dev"
  }
}'
  • Curl request to validate connection to Self hosted:
curl -v  -XGET http://XXXXX.elb.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com:9200
curl -v  -XGET http://XXXXX.elb.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com:9200/_cluster/state

Both succesful


More data:

We have also validated that our self manage instance can connect directly by performing the same GET request to the ES Cloud, and the connectivity is indeed successful.
