Hi all,
how can i import a complex custom ingestion pipeline from one elastic to another? I tried with the 'Import processors' button but after loading the json containing the processors array and pressing the 'Load and overwrite' button, nothing happens!

Not sure if there is any bulti-in flow to export/import ingest pipelines.
But you can easily get the request to recreate it by going looking for the desired ingest pipeline in Kibana interface and clicking to edit it.
Once in the edit page you have a link named _Show Request_ on the bottom right side, this will show you the entire request that needs to be made to create the ingest pipeline, just copy this and run against the other Elasticsearch cluster.
