I have an elasticsearch deployment consisting of one cluster, and I want to create a second cluster for a primary/secondary setup with cross-cluster replication. Is there something I can be pointed to to understand all of the relevant settings I need to be concerned with in defining the correct settings via ansible? Or a template that shows all of the possible settings I can put in the playbook where I can attempt to trace through what each setting does? The only setting I've seen so far in a playbook example relates to `cluster.remote.connect` but I doubt it's as simple as setting that to true since I would expect there to be a way to at least identify the remote cluster name as well if nothing else. Any general guidance here that can point me in the right direction would bee much appreciated. ---
