[DBG] RetryLoop retrying Initialize Cluster Agent after 1000 ms.
[DBG] Parsing cluster connection string “couchbase://ip-xxx-xx-xx-xxx.ec2.internal:8091”
[INF] Config: Couldn’t initialize cluster agent: couchbase://host:8091 not supported for couchbase:// scheme. Use couchbase>

here is the content of my .json file, not sure if it is expecting a different format
“bootstrap”: {
“server”: “couchbase://ip-xxx-xx-xx-xxx.ec2.internal:8091”,

Port 8091 is the non-TLS port. See: Couchbase Server Ports | Couchbase Docs

As the error suggests, use the couchbase:// protocol scheme if don’t want to use TLS, or correct (or remove) the port number if you do want to use TLS. You don’t need to specify the port number if it’s just the default one.

The 3.0 version of the docs are a lot more detailed for bootstrap.server. See: Bootstrap Configuration | Couchbase Docs
