Having issues with Azure Cloud plugin

Hi,
I've been trying to make use of the Azure Cloud plugin today to enable
azure discovery of nodes, with very little success

I have two clusters and both are exhibiting the same behaviour, I'm testing
using the Head plugin

Cluster 1 - previously working fine with multicast disabled and ip
addresses listed.

Now using Azure Cloud Plugin cannot see any of the other nodes in the
cluster, i.e. the machines think they are a cluster of one node

Cluster 2 - New clean cluster with no data, default configuration from box,
only changed cluster.name and added config for azure cloud plugin

Cannot see any of the nodes in the cluster i.e. the machines think they are
a cluster of one node

here is an example of my elasticsearch.yml file from cluster 1, the second
is exactly the same as out of the box with just the cluster.name value set
and the azure plugin information as below:

##################### Elasticsearch Configuration Example
#####################

This file contains an overview of various configuration settings,

targeted at operations staff. Application developers should

consult the guide at http://elasticsearch.org/guide.

The installation procedure is covered at

<

.

Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings,

so you can try it out without bothering with configuration.

Most of the time, these defaults are just fine for running a production

cluster. If you're fine-tuning your cluster, or wondering about the

effect of certain configuration option, please do ask on the

mailing list or IRC channel [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic].

Any element in the configuration can be replaced with environment

variables

by placing them in ${...} notation. For example:

node.rack: ${RACK_ENV_VAR}

For information on supported formats and syntax for the config file, see

<

################################### Cluster
###################################

Cluster name identifies your cluster for auto-discovery. If you're running

multiple clusters on the same network, make sure you're using unique

names.

cluster.name: elasticsearch

#################################### Node
#####################################

Node names are generated dynamically on startup, so you're relieved

from configuring them manually. You can tie this node to a specific name:

node.name: "Franz Kafka"

Every node can be configured to allow or deny being eligible as the

master,

and to allow or deny to store the data.

Allow this node to be eligible as a master node (enabled by default):

node.master: true

Allow this node to store data (enabled by default):

node.data: true

You can exploit these settings to design advanced cluster topologies.

1. You want this node to never become a master node, only to hold data.

This will be the "workhorse" of your cluster.

node.master: false

node.data: true

2. You want this node to only serve as a master: to not store any data and

to have free resources. This will be the "coordinator" of your cluster.

node.master: true

node.data: false

3. You want this node to be neither master nor data node, but

to act as a "search load balancer" (fetching data from nodes,

aggregating results, etc.)

node.master: false

node.data: false

Use the Cluster Health API [http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health], the

Node Info API [http://localhost:9200/_cluster/nodes] or GUI tools

such as http://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk and

http://mobz.github.com/elasticsearch-head to inspect the cluster state.

A node can have generic attributes associated with it, which can later be

used

for customized shard allocation filtering, or allocation awareness. An

attribute

is a simple key value pair, similar to node.key: value, here is an

example:

node.rack: rack314

By default, multiple nodes are allowed to start from the same

installation location

to disable it, set the following:

node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1

#################################### Index
####################################

You can set a number of options (such as shard/replica options, mapping

or analyzer definitions, translog settings, ...) for indices globally,

in this file.

Note, that it makes more sense to configure index settings specifically

for

a certain index, either when creating it or by using the index templates

API.

See <

Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic>
and

<

for more information.

Set the number of shards (splits) of an index (5 by default):

index.number_of_shards: 5

Set the number of replicas (additional copies) of an index (1 by default):

index.number_of_replicas: 1

Note, that for development on a local machine, with small indices, it

usually

makes sense to "disable" the distributed features:

index.number_of_shards: 1

index.number_of_replicas: 0

These settings directly affect the performance of index and search

operations

in your cluster. Assuming you have enough machines to hold shards and

replicas, the rule of thumb is:

1. Having more shards enhances the indexing performance and allows to

distribute a big index across machines.

2. Having more replicas enhances the search performance and improves

the

cluster availability.

The "number_of_shards" is a one-time setting for an index.

The "number_of_replicas" can be increased or decreased anytime,

by using the Index Update Settings API.

Elasticsearch takes care about load balancing, relocating, gathering the

results from nodes, etc. Experiment with different settings to fine-tune

your setup.

Use the Index Status API (http://localhost:9200/A/_status) to inspect

the index status.

#################################### Paths
####################################

Path to directory containing configuration (this file and logging.yml):

path.conf: /path/to/conf

Path to directory where to store index data allocated for this node.

path.data: /path/to/data

Can optionally include more than one location, causing data to be striped

across

the locations (a la RAID 0) on a file level, favouring locations with

most free

space on creation. For example:

path.data: /path/to/data1,/path/to/data2

Path to temporary files:

path.work: /path/to/work

Path to log files:

path.logs: /path/to/logs

Path to where plugins are installed:

path.plugins: /path/to/plugins

#################################### Plugin
###################################

If a plugin listed here is not installed for current node, the node will

not start.

plugin.mandatory: mapper-attachments,lang-groovy

################################### Memory
####################################

Elasticsearch performs poorly when JVM starts swapping: you should ensure

that

it never swaps.

Set this property to true to lock the memory:

bootstrap.mlockall: true

Make sure that the ES_MIN_MEM and ES_MAX_MEM environment variables are set

to the same value, and that the machine has enough memory to allocate

for Elasticsearch, leaving enough memory for the operating system itself.

You should also make sure that the Elasticsearch process is allowed to

lock

the memory, eg. by using ulimit -l unlimited.

############################## Network And HTTP
###############################

Elasticsearch, by default, binds itself to the 0.0.0.0 address, and

listens

on port [9200-9300] for HTTP traffic and on port [9300-9400] for

node-to-node

communication. (the range means that if the port is busy, it will

automatically

try the next port).

Set the bind address specifically (IPv4 or IPv6):

network.bind_host: 192.168.0.1

Set the address other nodes will use to communicate with this node. If not

set, it is automatically derived. It must point to an actual IP address.

network.publish_host: 192.168.0.1

Set both 'bind_host' and 'publish_host':

network.host: 192.168.0.1

Set a custom port for the node to node communication (9300 by default):

transport.tcp.port: 9300

Enable compression for all communication between nodes (disabled by

default):

transport.tcp.compress: true

Set a custom port to listen for HTTP traffic:

http.port: 9200

Set a custom allowed content length:

http.max_content_length: 100mb

Disable HTTP completely:

http.enabled: false

################################### Gateway
###################################

The gateway allows for persisting the cluster state between full cluster

restarts. Every change to the state (such as adding an index) will be

stored

in the gateway, and when the cluster starts up for the first time,

it will read its state from the gateway.

There are several types of gateway implementations. For more information,

see

<

.

The default gateway type is the "local" gateway (recommended):

gateway.type: local

Settings below control how and when to start the initial recovery process

on

a full cluster restart (to reuse as much local data as possible when

using shared

gateway).

Allow recovery process after N nodes in a cluster are up:

gateway.recover_after_nodes: 1

Set the timeout to initiate the recovery process, once the N nodes

from previous setting are up (accepts time value):

gateway.recover_after_time: 5m

Set how many nodes are expected in this cluster. Once these N nodes

are up (and recover_after_nodes is met), begin recovery process

immediately

(without waiting for recover_after_time to expire):

gateway.expected_nodes: 2

############################# Recovery Throttling
#############################

These settings allow to control the process of shards allocation between

nodes during initial recovery, replica allocation, rebalancing,

or when adding and removing nodes.

Set the number of concurrent recoveries happening on a node:

1. During the initial recovery

cluster.routing.allocation.node_initial_primaries_recoveries: 4

2. During adding/removing nodes, rebalancing, etc

cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_recoveries: 2

Set to throttle throughput when recovering (eg. 100mb, by default 20mb):

indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec: 20mb

Set to limit the number of open concurrent streams when

recovering a shard from a peer:

indices.recovery.concurrent_streams: 5

################################## Discovery
##################################

Discovery infrastructure ensures nodes can be found within a cluster

and master node is elected. Multicast discovery is the default.

Set to ensure a node sees N other master eligible nodes to be considered

operational within the cluster. Its recommended to set it to a higher

value

than 1 when running more than 2 nodes in the cluster.

discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1

Set the time to wait for ping responses from other nodes when discovering.

Set this option to a higher value on a slow or congested network

to minimize discovery failures:

discovery.zen.ping.timeout: 3s

For more information, see

<

Unicast discovery allows to explicitly control which nodes will be used

to discover the cluster. It can be used when multicast is not present,

or to restrict the cluster communication-wise.

1. Disable multicast discovery (enabled by default):

discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false

2. Configure an initial list of master nodes in the cluster

to perform discovery when new nodes (master or data) are started:

discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.0.0.4", "10.0.0.5", "10.0.0.6"]

EC2 discovery allows to use AWS EC2 API in order to perform discovery.

You have to install the cloud-aws plugin for enabling the EC2 discovery.

For more information, see

<

See http://elasticsearch.org/tutorials/elasticsearch-on-ec2/

for a step-by-step tutorial.
