Remote clusters authentication

kyle_che · November 10, 2020, 10:59pm

I am trying to test out remote clusters and then cross cluster replication. When inputting information about the other cluster under "Remote Clusters", Connection is saying "Not connected". I'm guessing this is due to my clusters having passwords set. Is there a way to pass the username/password so that the connection status will say connected?

This is what it currently looks like.

The cluster trust isn't setup as a user/password approach. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cross-cluster-configuring.html explains it more.

What do your Elasticsearch logs show?

must both clusters have the same elastic-certificates.p12 file?

warkolm · November 10, 2020, 11:26pm

From that doc link;

Enable a trust relationship between the cluster used for performing cross cluster search (the local cluster) and all remote clusters. This can be done either by:

Using the same certificate authority to generate certificates for all connected clusters, or

Adding the CA certificate from the local cluster as a trusted CA in each remote cluster (see Transport TLS settings).

kyle_che · November 10, 2020, 11:35pm

that worked. one last question. I have "Remote Clusters" setup. I am missing the " Cross Cluster Replication" option on the left hand side. Does something have to be installed for this feature?

kyle_che · November 10, 2020, 11:39pm

looks like it's not free so it requires a license. thanks for your help.

warkolm · November 10, 2020, 11:41pm

You can upgrade a Basic license to a 30 day Platinum trial if you want - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-licenses.html.

ok, did that and i'm getting the following error.

Did you load the sample data? You can do that from the home screen - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-sample-data.html

kyle_che · November 10, 2020, 11:51pm

yes, it's been loaded but won't replicate.

If i create the same index name on the remote cluster, i can then get it to create. The only problem is, the index does not replicate the data from the master to the slave. any ideas?
