I am simply spinning up two Elasticsearch instances in the same machine and trying to add one as a remote cluster to the other one. Settings for cluster\_one (only the relevant part): ```auto transport.port: 9307 http.port: 9207 xpack.security.enabled: false ``` Port settings for cluster\_two: ```auto transport.port: 9357 http.port: 9257 xpack.security.enabled: false cluster: remote: cluster_one: seeds: 127.0.0.1:9307 ``` Here's the document I want to search in `cluster_one` ```auto curl localhost:9207/cc-idx/_search {"took":35,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":1,"successful":1,"skipped":0,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":{"value":1,"relation":"eq"},"max_score":1.0,"hits":[{"_index":"cc-idx","_type":"1","_id":"WdYtsncBXLIED8mInk4S","_score":1.0,"_source":{"name": "John Doe", "tag": "apple"}}]}} ``` When I try to query `cluster_one` from the other cluster, its unable to find the index ```auto curl localhost:9257/cluster_one:cc-idx/_search {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"index_not_found_exception","reason":"no such index [cluster_one:cc-idx]","resource.type":"index_or_alias","resource.id":"cluster_one:cc-idx","index_uuid":"_na_","index":"cluster_one:cc-idx"}],"type":"index_not_found_exception","reason":"no such index [cluster_one:cc-idx]","resource.type":"index_or_alias","resource.id":"cluster_one:cc-idx","index_uuid":"_na_","index":"cluster_one:cc-idx"},"status":404} ``` I am not seeing anything in the logs - no errors, no debug or trace, nothing! `_remote/info API` return empty result. ```auto > curl localhost:9207/_remote/info {} ``` The transport are reachable as well ```auto > curl localhost:9307 This is not an HTTP port > curl localhost:9357 This is not an HTTP port ``` What am I doing wrong here? Am I missing a setting that's making the cluster undiscoverable to the other? ---

Thanks for the response @DavidTurner Like I pointed out in the config above, I have configured the remote cluster. Both via `elasticsearch.yml` and via the `_cluster/settings` API. Here is the response of `GET _cluster/settings` ```auto curl localhost:9257/_cluster/settings {"persistent":{"cluster":{"remote":{"cluster_one":{"seeds":["127.0.0.1:9307"]}}}},"transient":{}} ``` ---

Hmm, that's very strange, I can't see how you would get an empty result from `GET _remote/info` if the remote cluster really was configured. ---

Aha I see, you need to do `curl http://localhost:9257/_remote/info` not `curl http://localhost:9207/_remote/info`. The remote cluster is defined on `cluster_two` not `cluster_one`. ---

Sorry for the confusion. Both the clusters return empty result for `_remote/info` ```auto > curl localhost:9257/_cluster/settings {"persistent":{"cluster":{"remote":{"cluster_one":{"seeds":["127.0.0.1:9307"]}}}},"transient":{}} > curl http://localhost:9257/_remote/info {} ``` ```auto > curl localhost:9207/_cluster/settings {"persistent":{},"transient":{}} > curl http://localhost:9207/_remote/info {} ``` ---

Ok, weird. What version are we discussing? ---

Can you share `GET _cat/nodes` from both clusters? ---
