Nginx: How do i forward http request to another port?

I have three ES nodes.

Node 1(primary ):[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)

Node 2:[http://localhost:9201](http://localhost:9201)

Node 3:[http://localhost:9202](http://localhost:9202)

what i want to do is, if primary node fails ES will make node 2 as primary but i want the page should redirect automatically to localhost:9201 and how would i do that using nginx on windows or is there any other way to do that. Thanks in advance

Hi @syndy1989,

I am not sure what you mean by "the page"? Are you connecting to Elasticsearch with a web browser? There is no need to do what you are asking because that's something the client libraries usually handle for you under the hood. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html) for a list of client libraries.
