Hello,

I know ELSA is EOL in October, however I am stuck using it for a while trying to support a legacy environment before it can be upgraded to the newer ELK based SO.

I have a new install of SO 14.04.5.10, I've configured my interfaces through the setup script and run setup again. I have chosen "eval" mode since I'm on a standalone VM for my current dev work.

I'm trying to hit the ELSA web api and it's going poorly... I found one message in this group from 2015 saying to hit the IP:3154/API/query?q=whatever. I added the rule through ufw for 3154 and set allow for https (I can hit elsa's main page through https://ip/elsa), however I think the paths have changed. When I try to hit https://ip:3154/API/query I get an ssl protocol error. When I try to hit https://ip:3154/elsa/API/query I get the same thing. If I try without 3154, and instead use normal 443 I get 404 errors for /elsa/API/query and /API/query.

If anyone has any idea what the paths would be now, or how to add the required routes that'd be great. Also, if I'm way off base, that would be good to know too.

Thanks!

Are you using an API key with your request?


Thanks,
Wes

Hey Wes,

I'm not - at this point I was just trying to figure out which URI to hit. As it looks like previous builds of SO didn't include "/elsa" in the URI.

As far as I know adding the api key wouldn't fix the 404 or the SSL protocol error. Would love to be wrong though.

Actually, I forgot, I did try it with an API key as well. Same results.
