How can I use proxy to connect to elasticsearch ?

[RatanShreshtha]

I am trying to connect elasticsearch cluster when I am behind a corporate proxy maybe something like

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, RequestsHttpConnection


class MyConnection(RequestsHttpConnection):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        proxies = kwargs.pop("proxies", {})
        super(MyConnection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.session.proxies = proxies


es = Elasticsearch(
    ["https://url_to_elasticsearch"],
    connection_class=MyConnection,
    proxies=proxies,
    use_ssl=True,
    http_auth=("username", "password"),
)

@RatanShreshtha thanks for the issue.

Unfortuantly using urllib3 we don't support proxies yet, so as a work around you can use the requests library, similar to what you're suggesting.

for more reference please see:

• can't access elasticsearch over squid elasticsearch-py#357
• Proxy settings elasticsearch-py#275 (comment)

I am not sure how can I use the above code snippet for elasticsearch-py-async as here the aiohttp lib is used.

Since we won't be adding new features to this library I'll be closing this. See #81 for more information. You can use a transparent HTTP proxy (as opposed to forwarding/tunnel) which should work fine with any client.
