Hi ,

I have configured the remote cluster using [configure the remote cluster](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-remote-clusters.html)

```auto
GET /_cluster/settings
{"persistent":{"cluster":{"remote":{"cluster_one":{"seeds":["127.0.0.1:9300"]}}}},"transient":{}}

```

But when i do get remote info , it shows empty :  
/\_remote/info  
{}

what could be causing this ? elastic version in both clusters is 7.13 .

I anyone is to be able to help with this you most likely will need to share your cluster configurations and describe the exact steps you have taken in order to set CCS up.

Hi ,

I was able to solve this . the issue was that the remote\_cluster\_client role in the .yml file was disabled . I enabled it and now i'm able to see the remote cluster connected in the \_remote/info api response .

Regards,  
Toshi
