Thanks to the valuable help of @leandrojmp I was able to successfully configure what was necessary to use the “Snapshot and restore” feature.

I have another question:

I don't have enough space for the snapshot to save index data. I just need to be able to recover in the event of a catastrophic failure, being prepared to ingest logs again. In other words, I only need a backup of configurations.

I would appreciate your guidance on how to do this, or whether or not it is possible.

By configurations you mean the yaml files and conf files for Logstash?

No, I'm referring to visualizations, saved objects, spaces, detections, rules, alerts, fleet integrations, agent policies, ILM, agent enrollment, users, roles, APIs, cluster configuration, etc.
