Hi ECE I created an elb in front of my ECE cluster. So I can use url to access like this. http:// [ELB\_DNS] :12400/#/region/ece-region/allocators Therefore, I replace the IP in the cluster endpoint From [ip].ip.es.io To [elb\_dns].ip.es.io But I can't access my cluster endpoint http://[cluster\_id].[elb\_dns].ip.es.io:9200/ The purpose of doing this is to remove any IP specific URL and use ELB specific URL. Any advice? thanks. ---

Hi @weibin.wu All `[anything].[ip].ip.es.io` does is to resolve via DNS to `[ip]` . It's just intended to act as a stop gap before you have DNS set up yourself, eg for getting up and running quickly Now you have `elb_dns`, you should set up your in DNS provider (eg route 53) for `*.elb_dns` to resolve to `elb_dns`, and then change the "Cluster endpoints" (under `platform > settings` in the UI) to be just `elb_dns` Then each cluster endpoint will be `[cluster_id].[elb_dns]` which will resolve (via your DNS provider) to the IP of `elb_dns`, which will route to the proxy and thence (via the `[cluster_id]` prefix) to the cluster itself Does that make sense? Let us know if you run into issues Alex ---

@weibin.wu Sorry I just reread, and noticed: > I created an elb in front of my ECE cluster. So I can use url to access like this. > http:// [ELB\_DNS] :12400/#/region/ece-region/allocators Note that there are two different uses for an ELB - - to hit the admin API/UI on 12400 - to hit the clusters via the proxy on 80/443/9200/9243 These are two completely different functions. The same ELB can do both via the port, eg 12400 should go to any IPs that run an adminconsole service, and 80/443/9200/9243 etc should go to any IPs that run a proxy service Obviously if you have hosts that always run both proxies and adminconsoles, then it's an academic distinction, but I did want to be clear that it exists 🙂 The above information on setting up your DNS provider to be able to hit the proxy is all still valid. ---

Okay, cool. Thanks for the tips. Worked with our SA and problem solve. Thanks. ---
