Pre cross cluster, I was able to interact with indices using the dev tools. For example to take a peek at the index templates or field mappings.

GET \_template/windows-events-template [to see the currently applied template]  
GET bell-windows-events-2019.40 [to see the field mappings]

I noticed these queries don't seem to work with cross cluster setup. Only system indices are available such as.

GET .ml-annotations-write.

Would anyone know how I could interact with the various indices in my crosss cluster with the APIs?

Did you specify a cluster in your query? These docs might be helpful - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-cross-cluster-search.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-cross-cluster-search.html)
