Hi, I have been working with elasticsearch for about a year now in development using version 7.1 and the high level rest client (java), deployed my application to azure and created a free trial elastic deployment but unable to create index or make any request at all. It keeps giving me the unknownHostException ---

Hey, can you share some code, a full exception stack trace instead of just a part of it? Thank you! --Alex ---

This is how I am building my restclient ``` private synchronized RestHighLevelClient buildClient() { log.info("Trying to connect to elastic <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<"); try { if (restHighLevelClient == null) { final CredentialsProvider credentialsProvider =new BasicCredentialsProvider(); credentialsProvider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY,new UsernamePasswordCredentials("myusername", "mypassword")); RestClientBuilder builder = RestClient.builder(new HttpHost(esHost, esPort)); builder.setHttpClientConfigCallback(httpClientBuilder -> httpClientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider)); restHighLevelClient = new RestHighLevelClient(builder); log.info("Connected Elasticsearch.... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"); } } catch (Exception e) { log.error(e.getMessage()); } return restHighLevelClient; } ``` and this is where I try to create an index ``` private boolean createIndex(String indexName) { Assert.notNull(indexName, "No index defined"); CreateIndexRequest request = new CreateIndexRequest(indexName); try { CreateIndexResponse response = restHighLevelClient.indices().create(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT); return response.isAcknowledged(); } catch (Exception e) { throw new ElasticsearchException("Failed to create index " + indexName, e); } } ``` When I do this with localhost it works fine but with the elastic cloud instance I get this ``` java.io.IOException: https://link-to-my-elastic.azurewebsites.com at

> [@portal](#): > > Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: [https://mylink](https://mylink) at java.net.Inet6AddressImpl.lookupAllHostAddr(Native Method) There seems to be an issue with your application and DNS resolution - or more likely with the ability to do DNS resolution on that host. Can you check that? Or just try with the IP address and see if that works as a first step to rule out DNS? ---

Okay. if this is a DNS resolution issue then can you suggest a fix cause I cannot connect both on my local machine and on the deployed app. Thanks ---

Hey, this is impossible to tell without any further knowledge about your local setup, why your local DNS is not working. This is why I suggested not using DNS names but IP adresses, to check if this is a DNS issue or maybe a more complex routing problem, that you cannot reach the elasticsearch instance from your app. --Alex ---
