hi all .. please help me with my strange issue ; I want to reindex my old data from 2.3 cluster to 6.0 I tried 2 ways : 1. with reindex.remote.whitelist :: I put my remote host in yaml : reindex.remote.whitelist: '[es-xxx.xxx.com:9200](http://es-xxx.xxx.com:9200)' u see it in \_cluster/settings?pretty&include\_defaults : ```auto "reindex" : { "remote" : { "whitelist" : ["es-xxx.xxx.com:9200"] } }, ``` but wen I try : > POST \_reindex > { > "source": { > "remote": { > "host": "[https://es-xxx.xxx.com:9200](https://es-xxx.xxx.com:9200)", > "username": "admin", > "password": "ssdsdwD" > }, > "index": "reind\_v4" > > }, > "dest": { > "index": "reind\_v4" > } > } I always get : > "type": "illegal\_argument\_exception", > "reason": "[[es-xxx.xxx.com:9200](http://es-xxx.xxx.com:9200)] not whitelisted in reindex.remote.whitelist" 1. the second way is via snapshot restore I tried : ```auto PUT _snapshot/prod_bak { "type": "s3", "settings": { "bucket": "elastic-bucket" } } ``` but when I check: > GET /\_snapshot/prod\_bak/\_all I got an empty array of snapshots : ```auto { "snapshots": [] } ``` and when I do it with command line (aws s3 ls elastic-bucket) , I can see all my old snapshots : what should I do that restore work?? ---

Please try to format properly your posts. Did you restart the nodes after you added the `reindex.remote.whitelist`? In case you did not read it, here is the documentation for this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/reindex-upgrade-remote.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/reindex-upgrade-remote.html) ---

Hi David.. Thank you for reply.. yes... I restart node after added reindex.remote.whitelist on .yml file... but anyway got > ``` > "type": "illegal_argument_exception", > "reason": "[[es-xxx.xxx.com:9200](http://es-xxx.xxx.com:9200/)] not whitelisted in > reindex.remote.whitelist" > > ``` ☹ ---

Did you do that on all nodes? ---

Hmmm. That's weird. Could you share the exact `elasticsearch.yml` file you have and the exact reindex request you sent? You can send it via PM if you don't want to share that in public. cc @nik9000 in case it rings a bell... ---

Copying here my private answer in case someone else gets the same: In the config file, there is: ```auto xpack.security.authc.accept_default_password: false reindex.remote.whitelist: 'xxxx:9200' ``` The indentation is wrong and I suspect this is causing some troubles. Also I found some duplicated entries like: ```auto network.host: IP network.publish_host: NAME network.host: IP network.publish_host: NAME ``` ---
