Hi

I am triying to copy specific documents from one index to a new index by the following syntax:

curl -X POST "localhost:9200/\_reindex" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"source": {  
"index": "2018.12.19",  
"type": "json",  
"query": {  
"match": {  
"Vendor" : "Cisco"  
}  
}  
},  
"dest": {  
"index": "2018.12.19new"  
}  
}'

But when I execute this, always shows that does not math anything and it does not create the new index, but if I search in Kibana in this index i can view events with Vendor:Cisco. Anyone knows why is happening this? Thanks

I solved this problem by removing "type": "json".
