Hello, Currently we are exploring on Disaster recovery for Elastic. We have got a few steps automated but rebuild all the Elastic indexes, for us to do this it could take days as we have to do it manually (we have a ton of clients using elastic now). How do we automate this process to reduce the time? Is there anything you guys can recommend? ---

Did you consider Snapshot and Restore feature yet? Instead of reindexing? ---

Thank you for the reply, Does this require Kibana? Can this be done using Marvel? ---

Yes. Curl as well. Kibana Dev Console. Elastic curator is also a good way to automate that ---
