Hi, I need help in creating an elasticsearch index using the data collected by Sonarqube. Need a bit of walk through for this. Is there a tool for collecting data and creating elasticsearch indexes by interacting with SonarQube's API?

SonarTeam [confirmed me](https://twitter.com/FreddyMallet/status/984343182132604928) that elasticsearch is used behind the scene for SonarQube. So I guess you can just read the elasticsearch indices?

Is there a way to extract those indices to an external elasticsearch instance at regular intervals and visualize them using kibana? I'm trying to figure out a way to visualize the metrics produced by sonarqube for a DevOps statistical dashboard

Mabey you can do something with Cross Cluster Search?

Right.  
If you really want to reindex, you can use the reindex API for that.
