Rasa Core does not work with RASA NLU running as standalone server

Rasa Open Source
1

I’m using RASA CORE in a docker container and NLU in another container. When I test the NLU it responds correctly:

curl -XPOST http://172.31.0.5:5000/parse -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"q":"A joke please"}'

Result:

{
  "intent": {
    "name": "joke",
    "confidence": 0.7727253787113129
  },
  "entities": [],
  "intent_ranking": [
    {
      "name": "joke",
      "confidence": 0.7727253787113129
    },
    {
      "name": "greet",
      "confidence": 0.061411774609490856
    },
    {
      "name": "name",
      "confidence": 0.05015398259235015
    },
    {
      "name": "thank",
      "confidence": 0.044701038797837836
    },
    {
      "name": "bye",
      "confidence": 0.0407617534424718
    },
    {
      "name": "affirm",
      "confidence": 0.030246071846536073
    }
  ],
  "text": "A joke please",
  "project": "default",
  "model": "model_20181025-212932"
}

However, when I test the RASA CORE the NLU responds to it with a 404 error.

curl -XPOST http://172.31.0.6:5005/webhooks/rest/webhook -H “Content-type: application/json” -d ‘{“sender”:“Abner”, “message”:“A joke please”}’

The NLU log when CORE calls it:

2018-10-25 21:57:54+0000 [-] "172.31.0.6" - - [25/Oct/2018:21:57:54 +0000] "POST /parse HTTP/1.1" 404 50 "-" "python-requests/2.18.4"

And the CORE log:

My endpoints.yml file:

action_endpoint:
  url: http://action_server:5055/webhook

nlg:
  url: http://rasanlu:5000/parse

And credentials.yml

rest:
  # you don't need to provide anything here - this channel doesn't
  # require any credentials

A start my core container with this line:

python -m rasa_core.run --port 5005 --enable_api -d models/core/default/dialogue --credentials config/credentials.yml -c rest --endpoints config/endpoints.yml -o logs/core.log --debug

and the NLU with this:

python -m rasa_nlu.server --port 5000 -c /app/config/config_spacy_duckling.yml --path models/nlu --response_log /app/logs --debug

Could someone help me solve the problem?

Is there any way to get the log of the JSON content that CORE sends to the NLU?

hm, nlg is for your bot responses, not for nlu. so change that to nlu
