You should just do something like:
{hosts: ["clearml-elasticsearch-es-http"], args: { timeout: 60, dead_timeout: 10, max_retries: 3, retry_on_timeout: true, http_auth=["elastic", "passpasspass"], scheme="https", port=443, index_version: "1"}}

ah let me try sth

so both list and tuple are supported...

no...

I changed them and tried some combinations to no avail...
I assume it should change the retry pattern too. but it doesn't change.. I feel I'm missing something obvious here

yes. Tuple is not valid. like json. only scalar, string, dict or array

curl works with the same url and creds from the container...

That's right

It's still not connecting XD
but parsing is successful 😄

wow man you're the best!

Well, from the ES driver code:
if http_auth is not None: if isinstance(http_auth, (tuple, list)): http_auth = ":".join(http_auth)

nope no luck

It's still not connecting XD

Any info on why it's not connecting?

I'd try more variations, like trying to see if a different URL scheme in the host field helps:
{hosts: [" "], args: { timeout: 60, dead_timeout: 10, max_retries: 3, retry_on_timeout: true, http_auth=["elastic", "passpasspass"], scheme="https", port=443, index_version: "1"}}Also, note you're specifying port=433 - perhaps you need port 9200?

So I assume the only difference from a working setup is adding http_auth=(user,password) to the args section in the config

of course because the tuple is valid in Python.
but there's no way I can supply a tuple in the HOCON format (of json for that matter(

Hmm

Oh, you think the problem is tuple vs list?

Thanks!

no. tried many variations. I'm not sure if it's reading the variable or not. because wait times don't change either

if it's parsing, the container will fail to start and you'll se an error in the log...

That wouldn't have crossed my mind especially when it's not in the docs.

it is indeed parsing because invalid hocon leads to error. but nothing changes about retry times etc

When I try it locally (with changes to the code), I can use auth if I inject args["http_auth"] = ("user", "password")

there's no log of connecting to elasticsearch now 😕
does it mean it is okay?

the api server doesn't come up though. readiness probe fails.

You're very welcome 🙂

What about trying:
{hosts: [" "], args: { timeout: 60, dead_timeout: 10, max_retries: 3, retry_on_timeout: true, http_auth=["elastic", "passpasspass"], index_version: "1"}}(of course, using the correct port - I used 9200 here, I'm not sure if you need 9200 or 443)

Yes I see. But the current env doesn't reach there because it cannot be decoded by pyhocon.

I'm using a simple pyhocon code to test it and it won't decode. So it won't reach the code to ovverride settings at all.
