Restoring watchers

[Harper_S1 (Harper S)]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to restore the watcher snapshot from ELK 7.10 version to 8.2 but it showing the following error.

after this issue, I tried to setup 7.1 cluster to reindex these watchers but when I tried to restore this watcher snapshot , it is showing the following error.

{
    "error": {
        "root_cause": [
            {
                "type": "snapshot_restore_exception",
                "reason": "[elk_s3_backups:watchers/S3HwCtFATUiU1u5ff3qYSA] the snapshot was created with Elasticsearch version [7.10.0] which is higher than the version of this node [7.1.0]"
            }
        ],
        "type": "snapshot_restore_exception",
        "reason": "[elk_s3_backups:watchers/S3HwCtFATUiU1u5ff3qYSA] the snapshot was created with Elasticsearch version [7.10.0] which is higher than the version of this node [7.1.0]"
    },
    "status": 500
}

what I am missing here, could some one please help.

Thanks!

Do you still have the 7.10 cluster around? If you do try running a merge on the Watcher index and then taking another snapshot of it, that should upgrade the lucene version of the index.

sorry for the late response, I did the manual migration
