Our ELK setup is like using a reverse proxy to handle all in coming traffic to ElasticSearch endpoint.

And it requires a basic authentication

The request from logger for RestClient is like http://username:password@192.168.56.120/elasticsearch:80

and it shows an error like

java.net.UnknownHostException: username:password@192.168.56.120/elasticsearch: invalid IPv6 address

Thanks!

Hey @maxisam,

So it's the reverse proxy that requires Basic authentication? That might be a tough one. The plugin already supports Basic Authentication to the ElasticSearch engine, but that really wouldn't solve your problem as basically your authentication problem is due to a middleman.

I'm not sure that it's in the scope of this plugin to solve this issue. What you could try though, would be to specify your host as being username:password@192.158.56.120 and your port being as 80. This way, the plugin would generate the request as being http://username:password@192.168.56.120/elasticsearch:80. This might just work.

(Don't forget to replace your username/password by their actual values 😉 )

Thanks,
