Problems connecting to services

I followed the docs in order to get access to my ELK Service:

cf login

And selecting appropriate org and space

cf create-service-key <service-instance-name> mykey

And then 

cf service-key <service-instance-name> mykey

All of which works so far. However, accessing the kibana URL fails

cf service-connector 9000 http://xmnlzu2mkmsn05ll.service.consul:56063

with the following error

FAILED Value for remote host and remote port is not valid.

There is no firewall blocking rule for this.

Edit: There is also no proxy

Solution

  • The current version of the service connector expects the hostname:port without protocol prefix. Could you try:

    cf service-connector 9000 xmnlzu2mkmsn05ll.service.consul:56063

    That should work as expected.
