Question about HTTP Connection Statistics

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello all,

I'm wondering why the statistics coming back from my cluster keep reporting
zero http connections, even after explicitly running searches and GET
requests. The only two clients I've used are curl, which is obviously http;
and a python client called pyes, which I assume with pretty high certainty
is http since the only other client i know to use something else (e.g.
transport) is the java client.

Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks for looking,
Adam

SOLVED

The http stats break when using the jetty-authentication plugin (v20.1).

Not sure exactly how the plugin works, but I suspected it of proxying
requests somehow. Read into it a bit more and found this in the
documentation:

The core of the plugin is JettyHttpServerTransport module that works as a

replacement for NettyHttpServerTransport.

I'm guessing the stats api collects its information from the netty server
in a way the jetty server can't replicate.

Thanks to anyone who took the time to read my initial question...
