Hi, I was able to take a manual screenshot of a index and transfer it to another domain.  
Is there a way to change that index name to a new index name when I restore the screenshot to the other domain?

Thanks

You meant snapshot 😉

Yes. The [restore API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snapshots-restore-snapshot.html) allows renaming the index.

Hi David,

Yes Snapshot! Sorry!!  
I did it via aws cli- would it be possible through aws cli as well?

No idea as this is not the official supported service.

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, SIEM, Maps UI, AppSearch and what is coming next 🙂 ...
