I have 2 servers where Elasticsearch Indexes are stored with same index name but different data on both the indexes, now there is requirement of putting that data into one server, so I want to append the data of both the indexes(present on 2 different servers) into single index, how i can do that.  
Currently, I am using this configuration for appending the data.

input {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "server1:9200"  
index =\> "logstash-2015.12.16"  
}  
}  
filter {  
mutate {  
remove\_field =\> ["@version", "@timestamp"]  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
host =\> "localhost"  
port =\> 9200  
protocol =\> "http"  
manage\_template =\> false  
index =\> "logstash-2015.12.16"  
}  
}

Apologies for the very late reply.
