Hello,  
We are looking to export the ingest pipeline in elk to a file so we can import it into another ELK system. Is there a way to do that?

Hi @poke1710. Are you referring to [Elasticsearch ingest pipelines](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ingest-apis.html)? Do you just need the [get pipeline API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/get-pipeline-api.html)? I believe the output of that API is the same as the input to the [create pipeline API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/put-pipeline-api.html).
