unable to import aws instance

[Josue Contreras]

I have a scalr running in an ec2 classic instance and have all incoming traffic pretty much open. 

I installed the agent to an instance behind a vpc and have open the necessary ports. I still get the following error

================================================

Unable to establish outbound (Scalr -> Scalarizr) communication (10.2.105.239:8013): Connection timed out.

the console seems to be trying to login with a user

Hi!

Did you try to login to your Scalr server and verify that it can access your instance on port 8013? 

Your should be able to do this by simply telnet'ing to the instance and see if you get a connect.

Daniele

Hi Daniele, 

Honestly this is the first time hearing of and using scalr. Our setup is consist of a chef and jenkins servers to automate deployments. The missing part is creating instance and orchestrate the desirable jobs. 

Also we have 2 ~ 3 VPC in 3 regions. And it seems I can't launch instances inside the vpcs I need. I Select "Launch this Farm inside Amazon VPC" , I click on the vpc ID, and save my changes. 

I have an AMI register that I associate to an app role. I then add that role to my demo farm when I configure network I can see my private subnets but when I select them it detects they are private but I can't select the vpc router, or my own NAT severs, any suggestions or documentation that is more clear instruction than scalr's own wiki.

How did you create the image? Did you use the Role/Image importer in Scalr?

https://scalr-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/x/1w8b

Basically you should follow these steps to get a valid image/role into Scalr:

1. Start a server through the AWS UI.

2. Install the scalr agent.

3. Import the server from the Scalr UI.

4. You now have an image/role ready to be used with Scalr.

Daniele

Daniele, 

Thanks for the reply. To be honest I installed the agent to an instance that was running inside the vpc and cut an ami from it. I then registered the ami to scalr and  used it to create the role. But I will try steps you mentioned above.

Hi Daniele, 

Do you know if anything needs to be configure on the scalr server in order to have the import to work? I have check mark to create an image and have tried to leave it uncheck and I can't select the operating system of my NAT server. 

I also click on chef and base and nothing happens there is no operating system listed. The instance is using amazon linux 2014.09.

I am not sure if the Scalr Agent is certified to work on Amazon Linux. Most likely not.

All testing is done with Debian/Ubuntu and RedHat/CentOS systems.

Could you try to import a system running any of those and see if you still have issues?

Daniele

Josue,

Scalr fully supports Amazon Linux include the version that you're
using? What options are available in OS dropdown?

Is Amazon 2015.03 available in the list of Operating systems in Admin CP?

If not, please add it manually the same way as 2014.* (2014.09 should
be there).
