Connect slave nodes from remote server to master node on local machine

[canhdv-vng]

Description of issue / feature request

When I try running Locust distributed, I run master node on a local machine to monitor web UI and then log in to a remote server and start slave nodes with --master-host=machine_ip. But nothing happens. How can I do this?

On the local machine, I ran command locust -f locustfile.py --master and on the remote server, I ran locust -f locustfile.py --slave --master-host=my_ip. Both scripts are the same.

Expected behavior

Slave nodes on the remote server will connect to master node on the local machine.

Actual behavior

Slave nodes don't connect to master node.

Environment settings (for bug reports)

• OS: Ubuntu 16.04.3
• Python version: 2.7
• Locust version: 0.8.1

Steps to reproduce (for bug reports)

To help you at all, you need to show the command you are trying to start locust with on both master and slave. We are not all mind readers here :)

aloso, did you follow the docs?

I'm closing this for now, but happy to re-open if you can demonstrate there is an issue with locust.
