Hi. Im using ES 7. And I need to automate a process on Kibana so when I create a new Index, I need to \_reindex it using a query. Im able to do this manually but, How do I automate this process so everytime I have a new Index then it start reindexing in parallel base on my query?. Thanks a lot in advance ---

there is no such mechanism, that is doing this automatically. The only thing that comes near this is [Cross Cluster Replication](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.3/ccr-apis.html) can you tell more about your use-case? ---

Hi!. Thanks for your reply. This is what I need to achieve. I have a timeserie index that on its documents it has a field called "providers", I need to give access to only 'provider1' . example: index: 'myindex' providers: 'provider2', 'provider1', 'provider3'. I will need a kibana space that can only see doccumetns that contain "Provider1" I know I can limit the user roles to an index, thats why I was thinking on doing some kind of reindex or something that I can create a new index base on a query with this filter. please let me know if its possible to achive this?. Thanks a lot in advance ---

how about [document level security](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/7.3/document-level-security.html) or [filtered aliases](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.3/indices-aliases.html#filtered) (which is not real security as the user could specify other indices if he can manipulate the query) ---
