Hey @Lakshay_Arora,

Please note this forum is meant to discuss Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE), which is another product. For future question please see [https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service/support](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service/support) 58 for Elastic Cloud support.

Reagrding your question, one option is to use [remote reindex](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/reindex-upgrade-remote.html), in order to migrate existing index to a cluster hosted in Elastic Cloud.

HTH.

@zanbel Thanks for your help,  
I have tried remote indexing but I got this error :  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "connect\_exception",  
"reason": "Connection refused"  
}  
],  
"type": "connect\_exception",  
"reason": "Connection refused"  
},  
"status": 500  
}

my elasticsearch.yml file has only this line

reindex.remote.whitelist: ["localhost:9200"]

and I am doing reindexing like this :

POST \_reindex  
{  
"source": {  
"remote": {  
"host": "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"  
},  
"index": "datazomato",  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
},  
"dest": {  
"index": "datazomato"  
}  
}

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
