We have two data centers (192.X.X.X and 10.X.X.X) between which gossip (port 7001) is possible but not thrift or the native protocol. OpsCenter runs on a node in the first data center (192.X.X.X).

After updating from OpsCenter 5.1.3 to OpsCenter 5.2.0 on CentOS 6.6 the dashboard only shows "Cannot Connect to Cluster".

The opscenterd.log file shows repeated attempts to connect to the Cluster.

It begins with connecting to a seed node:

2015-08-10 11:52:04+0200 [Cluster_01] DEBUG: Connecting to cluster, contact points: ['192.168.0.100', '192.168.0.101']; protocol version: 2

The following part is repeated for each node in the other data center and also for each node from the local data center which is not in the list of seed nodes:

2015-08-10 11:52:05+0200 [Cluster_01] DEBUG: [control connection] Found new host to connect to: 10.0.0.1

The log continues a bit until the control connection is closed:

Then something strange happens: A connection is established to the first node in the other data center:

2015-08-10 11:52:05+0200 [Cluster_01] DEBUG: Connecting to cluster, contact points: ['10.0.0.1']; protocol version: 2

This fails of course as we don't want clients to communicate across data centers.

Even with this cluster configuration OpsCenter still tries to connect to the other (wrong) data center:

[cassandra]
seed_hosts = 192.168.0.100,192.168.0.101
username = opscenter
password = XXX
local_dc_pref = DC1
used_hosts_per_remote_dc = 0

This setup worked without problems for all versions of OpsCenter until 5.2.0. Is it a new requirement that all nodes must be reachable through native protocol from the OpsCenter? Can't I tell OpsCenter to only connect to its local data center?

I can confirm your bug and it can be tracked as OPSC-6299 (sorry no public bug tracker, but this can be used for communications with Datastax or future ticket references).

The short of it is that OpsCenter should be respecting that load balancing policy, it is valid, but in this case there's a bug.
