ValidateConnection - Elasticsearch - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Tests the connectivity between a Logstash cluster and its associated Elasticsearch cluster when you configure the X-Pack Monitoring feature for the Logstash cluster.

Note To enable X-Pack monitoring for Logstash, you must configure a Elasticsearch instance. After the configuration, you can monitor the Logstash instance in the Kibana of the corresponding Elasticsearch instance.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request headers

This operation does not have operation-specific request headers and uses only common request headers. For more information, refer to the documentation of common request parameters.
