Troubleshooting Cloud Connections During Development
Diagnose DNS-SRV problems. Troubleshoot other network connection trouble with SDK doctor.
Connecting to Cloud — in particular when developing applications outside the network where the Cluster is hosted — can expose unexpected network problems. We’ll show you how to troubleshoot Host not Found problems. SDK doctor is a powerful but simple tool to help diagnose other connection problems.
Troubleshooting Problems
Couchbase Capella is secure by default, and that means that it always uses TLS connections. Before carrying out other troubleshooting, please check that your application code is configured for TLS/SSL, using the default method of connecting (not http/https), and not specifying any port numbers.
Troubleshooting Host not Found
In order for your application to connect to your cloud, Capella creates a special kind of DNS record, called a Service record, or DNS-SRV record. DNS SRV records are widely supported and used frequently in systems like XMPP, and Kubernetes services. Occasionally, some DNS providers can run into issues with large DNS SRV records. This can manifest as a host not found issue. The actual problem is (a typically older) DNS server that cannot handle large responses which converts the error to host not found. This has frequently been observed when working from home with a service provider ‘router’ that embeds a caching DNS Server. To determine if this is the cause, you can compare an nslookup command from a shell from your default DNS server to a public DNS server, like those from Google or Cloudflare. If, for example, your public cloud record were cb.490e597e-73fd-4b87-a08a-1da9c826970e.dp.cloud.couchbase.com, you might see this with nslookup for the associated DNS SRV record:
$nslookup -q=SRV _couchbases._tcp.cb.490e597e-73fd-4b87-a08a-1da9c826970e.dp.cloud.couchbase.comServer: UnKnown Address: 10.0.0.1 *** UnKnown can't find _couchbases._tcp.cb.490e597e-73fd-4b87-a08a-1da9c826970e.dp.cloud.couchbase.com: Query refused
Specifying a different DNS Server may work (note the 8.8.8.8 on the end of the command):
$ nslookup -q=SRV _couchbases._tcp.cb.490e597e-73fd-4b87-a08a-1da9c826970e.dp.cloud.couchbase.com 8.8.8.8Non-authoritative answer:

As a workaround, you can switch to a DNS provider which can support modern DNS SRV records.
Validating Connectivity with SDK doctor
If you appear to be having connectivity issues, it’d be good to diagnostically check for lower level details with SDK doctor. From the environment where it looks like your program cannot connect, run one of the of the pre-built binaries for your platform. Usually the summary at the end is pretty easy to interpret. Output that shows correct connectivity may look like this:
$ ./sdk-doctor-macos diagnose -u username -p password couchbases://cb.51bbb323-476e-4354-bec8-5f9b0a67d146.dp.cloud.couchbase.com/travel-sample|====================================================================|
| ___ ___ _ __ ___ ___ ___ _____ ___ ___ |
| / __| \| |/ /__| \ / _ \ / __|_ _/ _ \| _ \ |
| \__ \ |) | ' <___| |) | (_) | (__ | || (_) | / |
| |___/___/|_|\_\ |___/ \___/ \___| |_| \___/|_|_\ |
| |
|====================================================================|
Note: Diagnostics can only provide accurate results when your cluster
is in a stable state. Active rebalancing and other cluster configuration
changes can cause the output of the doctor to be inconsistent or in the
worst cases, completely incorrect.

Found multiple issues, see listing above.
Note that there are a few warnings because we did not specify the CA certificate (available in the Couchbase Capella Console) and because we are connecting across the Internet, which has higher latency than we would have if running the application in the cloud. There are no errors.
A 'bad' result from SDK-Doctor would end in output more like this:

[ERRO] All endpoints specified by your connection string were unreachable, further cluster diagnostics are not possibleThis output is a possible indication that the DNS server in use does not support DNS SRV records, as covered in an earlier section.
Additional Steps
-
Check your IP is whitelisted in the Couchbase Capella UI as an Allowed IP (make sure to hit Save after adding it).
-
That you are using "couchbases://<hostname>" as your connection string, to allow DNS SRV.
-
That you have downloaded the Capella cluster’s Security Certificate and supplied it via
trustCertificate. -
That you have enabled TLS via
enableTls(true). -
That the user you are connecting as has been created in Capella and has correct permissions for the bucket you are connecting to.
-
The SDK logging should give some indication as to what’s failing. In particular, check if the DNS SRV lookup is successful. It will look something like:
[ INFO] (cb-events) [com.couchbase.core][DnsSrvRecordsLoadedEvent][2086ms] Loaded seed hosts from DNS SRV: [cb-0000.<hostname>, cb-0001.<hostname>, cb-0002.<hostname>]
-
You can determine if the certificate is the cause of the connection issues by disabling certificate validation with this alternative
ClusterEnvironmentconfiguration:val env: ClusterEnvironment = ClusterEnvironment.builder .securityConfig(SecurityConfig() .trustManagerFactory(InsecureTrustManagerFactory.INSTANCE)) .build .getThis is not a secure connection. It is only suitable for debugging purposes, and should not be used in production.
