Hi community,

I try to reindex from remote elasticsearch but i got err response.  
Here is what I run in kibana dev tool,

> POST \_reindex  
> {  
> "source": {  
> "remote": {  
> "host": "[https://anotherhost:443](https://anotherhost:443)",  
> "socket\_timeout": "1m",  
> "connect\_timeout": "10s"  
> },  
> "index": "old-2019.01",  
> "query": {  
> "match\_all": {}  
> }  
> },  
> "dest": {  
> "index": "new-2019.01"  
> }  
> }

and this is response

> {  
> "error": {  
> "root\_cause": [  
> {  
> "type": "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
> "reason": "[anotherhost:443] not whitelisted in reindex.remote.whitelist"  
> }  
> ],  
> "type": "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
> "reason": "[anotherhost:443] not whitelisted in reindex.remote.whitelist"  
> },  
> "status": 400  
> }

Thank you @dadoonet.  
I forgot to tell one thing I use AWS Elasticsearch Domain.  
I can not edit elasticsearch.yml. 😢

Did you look at [https://www.elastic.co/cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud) and [https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK) ?

Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to all features, all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL, Canvas, APM, Logs UI, Infra UI and what is coming next 🙂 ...
