Hi,
I have a single node ELK running on ver 5.6. There are daily indices of about 20GB each, total elastic data is about 2Tb.
I have build another ELK platform on ver 6.7 and want to migrate this data on new node.
Can you please guide me to achive this ? Any special care I should take during migration to avoid data corruption or conflicts ?
Regards,

Hi @mkain ,
As you have 5.6 version and you want to migrate your data in 6.7. For this you can use snapshot and restore API for the same.
A snapshot of an index created in 5.x can be restored to 6.x.
Please find below related document link for snapshot and restore.

Hi Harsh,
Can I do it over network ? kind to replication from old to new.
I may not have enough storage on my 5.6 env for snapshots.

Hi @mkain ,
Yes, You can do the same over network. You can create repository like NFS server with mount or any other you can use.

Hi @harshbajaj16 I have managed it with reindex API. Works very well. I have now documented the procedure here
