My ES cluster is constantly updating but I have a use case where I'd like to have a snapshot of static data, which I'd update periodically. Doesn't have to be all of the data, could be a fraction of it. Any tips on how would one approach it?

Cheers!

The snapshot feature sounds like it would fit 🙂 [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snapshot-restore.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snapshot-restore.html)
