Unable to connect to RDS Aurora SQL DB via ToxiProxy server about toxiproxy

[miry]

jdbc:mysql://{proxy_server_ip}:3306/{DB_name}

Should be jdbc:mysql://{proxy_server_ip}:26379/{DB_name}

[ashish-k]

@miry I did change it to "jdbc:mysql://{proxy_server_ip}:26379/{DB_name}". It was a typo. Apologies. Request you to help me here.

@ashish-k I propose to check toxiproxy with simple commands:

1. Make sure toxiproxy server and client are uptodated:

$ toxiproxy-server --version
toxiproxy-server version 2.5.0

$ toxiproxy-cli --version
toxiproxy-cli version 2.5.0

2. Run server with debug log level.

LOG_LEVEL=debug toxiproxy-server 

3. Create a new proxy

toxiproxy-cli create -l 0.0.0.0:26379 -u {RDS Aurora DB endpoint}:3306 rds
toxiproxy-cli inspect rds

4. Test that port is open

curl -v 0.0.0.0:26379
curl -v 127.0.0.1:26379

5. Check logs from toxiproxy-server.

Pls share output of commands and logs, it would help me to identify the problem.

@miry Thank you for your inputs.

After running command "LOG_LEVEL=debug toxiproxy-server", following output is printed and nothing happens after that.
Can you please suggest if there is some alternative way to change LOG_LEVEL. Thanks again!

{"level":"info","host":"localhost","port":"8474","version":"2.5.0","caller":"api.go:119","time":"2022-10-14T11:54:21Z","message":"Starting HTTP server on endpoint localhost:8474"}

@ashish-k Have you done commands with curl? According the logs, it looks there were no any requests done.

Can you please suggest if there is some alternative way to change LOG_LEVEL.

It is not possible right now, sorry for this. Probably we can move log level in config later.

@miry Please find below the output of curl commands.

curl -v 0.0.0.0:26379

@miry Request you to help me here. Do let me know if any other inputs are required.

[ashish-k]

Can anyone else help me here please if @miry is not available

[ashish-k]

@miry Can you please help me here

@ashish-k As I see toxiproxy shows the reply from Aurora DB. You did not provide logs from toxiproxy during your experiments with curl.
I am not familiar with Aurora DB, I could guess that some sort Handshake verification enabled. Example SSL or encription, where server see that proxy used.

You should check Toxiproxy server logs and Aurora DB logs.
