TransientTransactionError. connection 4 to 127.0.0.1:[RANDOM_PORT] closed

Which NoSQLBooster version are you using? Which platform MacOS, windows or ubuntu?

1. Random port?

A: We use random unoccupied ports (_.random(30000, 60000)) to avoid conflicts with local services

2. Why it suddenly stopped working?

A: I have no idea about the issue. There are no retro steps, and it is difficult to guess the specific reasons for this type of problem.

You can try using a separate ssh tunneling. refer to : https://www.ssh.com/ssh/tunneling/example#sec-What-Is-SSH-Port-Forwarding-aka-SSH-Tunneling

Hi, we are experiencing the same error. Recently NoSQLBooster stopped to connect to our MongoDB instance running behind a bastion server (AWS EC2).

Those are the connection settings we are using:

Basic:

- Type: Direct Connection

- Server: mongodb://MONGO_DB_IP_ADDRESS:27017

Authentication: - none (we don't need one right now)

SSL: - none

SSH:

- Address: BASTION_SERVER_IP:22

- User Name: USER_NAME

- Auth Mode: Private Key

- Private Key: PATH_TO_ID_RSA

- Passphrase: PW

Default Database:

- We tried with and without one

Other Options:

- none

Now we were able to to connect to the db previously (using older versions of NoSQLBooster), and actually we are still able to connect to it using other clients like TablePlus.

Regarding the random port, If you check the logs, you will find something like: "uri":"mongodb://localhost:39009/"...

Now every time we try to connect it uses a different port.

NoSQLBooster version: 5.1.4 on macOS.

Please have a look:

Thank you for your feedback.

I still can't reproduce the problem locally, I tried to update the tunnel module to the latest version, and worked out a new build, can you try it again?

MacOS: https://s3.mongobooster.com/download/releasesv5/nosqlbooster4mongo-5.1.5-beta.4.dmg

And, is there anything special about your ssh key? Ed25519 is not supported.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

We've tried the beta but unfortunately not luck. The ssh key is not an Ed25519 one.

The things that sound fishy are still those random generated ports.

I'm copying and pasting some screen-shots about them.

Thanks

I have exactly the same problem with 5.1.8. And it's on a macOS 10.14.5

Same problem on 5.1.14, it's connecting to some random localhost port through SSH.

"message" : "failed to connect to server [localhost:56031] on first connect [MongoNetworkError: connection 2 to localhost:56031 timed out]",
	"stack" : "MongoNetworkError: failed to connect to server [localhost:56031] on first connect [MongoNetworkError: connection 2 to localhost:56031 timed out]" +
