I am new to Amazon Web Services. I configured domain to use ElasticSearch in AWS(Amazon Web Services) console. Confirured usage of Http Requests. Went through documantation of creating ElasticSearch client from https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/1.x/security.html
var response = client.RootNodeInfo(c => c
.RequestConfiguration(rc => rc
.BasicAuthentication("UserName", "Password")
));
Works fine to me (Response is 200) But when i try to configure authentication credentials like this and pass config to client constructor i need to have "cloudId" i didnt find in at AWS where sould i search for it? or what i have to do?
My client code:
BasicAuthenticationCredentials credentials = new BasicAuthenticationCredentials("UserName", "Password");
var config = new ConnectionSettings("cloudId???", credentials);
var client = new ElasticClient(config);
var response = client.Ping();
I recently did this but a different way. I used the Nuget package AwsSignatureVersion4 and an IAM user with appropriate permissions to the ElasticSearch service.
But basically, use the ImmutableCredentials and just do what I need to do via the REST calls and the C# HttpClient. I find it easier than using the .NET ElasticSearch library. I can then copy/paste back and forth from Kibana.
var credentials = new ImmutableCredentials("access_key", "secret_key", null);
HttpContent httpContent = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(someObjOrQuery), Encoding.UTF8);
httpContent.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
var resp = httpClient.PostAsync(es_url,
httpContent,
regionName: "us-east-1",
serviceName: "es",
credentials: credentials).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
if(resp.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
//Good to go
}
else
{
//this gets what ES sent back
var content = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
dynamic respJson = JObject.Parse(content.Result());
//Now you can access stuff by dot and it's dynamic respJson.something
}
