Using ES python libraries i am able to connect to both and upload dataset and templates.. issue only comes with i connect via Elastalert via Praeco ..
for Elastalert i am using the docker image you shared

elastalert:
    image : 'praecoapp/elastalert-server:20200404_es6'

[nsano-rururu]

Do you mean that there are multiple ESs? .. I don't support it.

[nsano-rururu]

I'm thinking of stopping support for ES 6. Because I haven't used it at all.
It's not good to support not using it.

[nsano-rururu]

We do not support unsupported usage

[arsalan993]

Definitely there are two seperate deployement of Paeco one for first ES server and other for 2nd ES server..
both ES servers are 6.4 .

Sir you are too agressive. I am asking questions respectfully and you take it too personal . Plz relax
I am just asking if it could be fix at your end.. as i mentioned earlier it run prefect for one server and when i connect to other server seperately it fail and put out the error i shared above

[nsano-rururu]

Isn't it strange that it can be fixed without being able to distinguish whether the setting is wrong or a bug? ..

[nsano-rururu]

Are you running on the same server? You can't tell without information about docker-compose and docker commands. I'm not a god.

[nsano-rururu]

What is a separate connection to another server? .. What kind of operation was done with what kind of setting? I don't know at all. Same docker container? Does that mean? .. Is it a connection to two ESs? What I don't understand at all is the real intention.

[nsano-rururu]

With only the current information, it seems that the connection is made in a strange way.

[arsalan993]

Ok i will look into it further at my end Arsalan Ahmed

In the first place, elastalert-server does not support multiple elasticsearch connections. So is elastalert. When I searched for elastalert issues, I've seen the answer that HAProxy should be used for ES cluster configurations.

[arsalan993]

I am trying at all to connect to multiple ES servers.. i connecting to each server one by one.. it was working smoothly with one while failing with other.. so connection was made separately .. Arsalan Ahmed

[nsano-rururu]

There is a pull request in elastalert for connecting multiple ESs, but there is currently no sign of being captured.
feat: suport for multi es instances #3109

[nsano-rururu]

Conclusion. ElastAlert and ElastAlertServer only support connecting to one ES. If it is supported, it cannot be supported unless both ElastAlert and ElastAlertServer are supported.
