Hi,

According to [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html:](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html:) "Remote hosts have to be explicitly whitelisted in elasticsearch.yaml using the reindex.remote.whitelist property." Question is: does that need to be set in the .yml on all nodes, or maybe just master and/or client?

Thanks,  
Casie

Hi @casieowen,

I have a cluster with 2 nodes and just set it in the master node. everything went fine with the reindex.

Have you tried all these approaches and neither one had worked?

Regards,

Guilherme

It's only required to be configured on the node that will be coordinating the remote reindex.
