Does Azure Cosmos db Emulator require internet connection

Azure Cosmos db Emulator will not launch when my external internet connection is offline. Is this normal with the current emulator?

Solution

  • Azure Cosmos DB Emulator simulates a service locally and it is supposed that the external network offline does not affect the emulator 's operation.

    You could check the points as below to troubleshoot your issue.

    Point 1: Try to ping your localhost.

    Point 2: Try to telnet the cosmos db local server port.

    Point 3: Check to see if the local 8081 port is occupied causing a port conflict. The emulator didn't start at all.

    Point 4: Check the hosts configuration file to see if the local IP port is pointing to another domain.

    Point 5 : Check the firewall for any restrictions.
