ElasticSearch data to a simple file

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I would like to convert all data stored in ES to a simple file. Exact use
case is,

I would be storing logs in ES with timestamp as index and when user
triggers a file request operation it should provide a log file (in a file
system) with all the data.

is there anyway to do this? ( i was thinking to search for _all and parse
the JSON and then add to a file - this is going to be a over kill)

It is more efficient to scan across your values:

However, if your data is large enough to merit use a scan, then
perhaps it is too big to place into a file. How many documents will
you be outputting?
