What is hostname for my first deployment in ElasticSearch

Question

I am using an ElasticSearch (elasticsearch==7.0.2) client in Python

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

client = Elasticsearch({
  "host": "https://my-first-deployment.es.southamerica-east1.gcp.elastic-cloud.com", 
  "port": 9200
})

I took the hostname from my first deployment in ElasticSearch, Copy Endpoint:

But it doesn't seem to work

socket.gaierror: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution

What am I missing?

EDIT: I don't know what port it should be and I don't know where to check it. I assumed it is 9200 because it is the default port when running locally.

Answer 1

I am pretty sure your port is incorrect and you should probably remove https:// from the host name, put it into an array and somehow indicated that it should use ssl. I think it might be much easier to just use the entire endpoint in this format:

client = Elasticsearch(["https://my-first-deployment.es.southamerica-east1.gcp.elastic-cloud.com:12345"],
    http_auth=("elastic", "<password>"),
)

Alternatively, you can just copy cluster id and use it like this:

es = Elasticsearch(
    cloud_id="cluster-1:dXMa5Fx...",
    http_auth=("elastic", "<password>"),
)

Note: I'm assuming your username is elastic.

Also, what's your deployment version? If it is 8.x you should probably switch to corresponding version of python client.
