connect: Unable to connect to Elasticsearch server using connect

[mayankgautam]

I'm trying out elastic package to connect to elasticsearch on my system.

But I'm not able to connect using elastic package.

Here is the code that I've used with error message:

I've started the elasticsearch and have checked that the default page was opening in browser properly.

elasticon <- connect(port = 9200) elasticon$info()

Error: Failed to connect to http://127.0.0.1:9200 Remember to start Elasticsearch before connecting

is Elasticsearch running on localhost/127.0.0.1 and port 9200?

[mayankgautam]

Yes, it is.

Okay, so is there a proxy or some authentication you need to connect to the ES running?

[mayankgautam]

Yes, I'm trying to connect behind a proxy.

I've tried below methods to connect to the server: set_config(use_proxy(url='http://XXX.XX.XX.XXX', XXXX, 'username@comp.com', 'password')) set_proxy(proxy("'http://XXX.XX.XX.XXX:XXXX", user = "username@comp.com", pwd = "password"))

But still, I'm not able to connect.

[sckott]

set_proxy and proxy are the correct fxns to use as the underlying http library is crul, not httr. try this:

library(elastic)
library(crul)
set_proxy(proxy("'http://XXX.XX.XX.XXX:1234", user = "username@comp.com", pwd = "password"))
x = connect()
x$info(verbose=TRUE)

verbose=TRUE gives verbose curl output, and should give some useful info if the proxy configuration is not working
