hello,
i have 2 clusters but different license types are placed;1st cluster has only basic license, but 2nd cluster has gold x-pack license.
i need to transfer a couple indices data from 1st cluster to 2nd cluster. since only 2nd cluster has x-pack, cross-search is not a possible option.
what would be a best option to transfer target indices from 1st cluster to 2nd cluster?
please advise. thank you!

i guess using logstash with elasticsearch for input and output is one of option. it should work btw different clusters. correct?
please advise. thank you!

Which version are you using? Would [reindex from remote](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/reindex-upgrade-remote.html) or [snapshot and restore](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/modules-snapshots.html) be an option?

Thank you for reply.
Ver6.6.
Can i use “reindex from remote” feature as realtime data collecting purpose?

No. If it is not a one-off transfer I would recommend changing the indexing clients to index into both clusters in parallel. Real-time replication is what the new cross-cluster replication feature offers, but this requires both clusters to have a platinum license.

if so, using Logstash with both input & output as Elasticsearch could be a solution to transfer data realtime from one cluster(w/o xpack) to the other(w xpack). right?
thank you!

I would recommend setting up 2 separate Elasticsearch outputs in Logstash so you write to both clusters in parallel. Performing real-time replication between clusters is a complex problem which is why cross-cluster replication was developed. I am not aware of any other ways of doing it and the standard approach is to write to all clusters in parallel.
