Standing up new instance want to copy indexes/documents from old instance

Hi,

Dug around and cant seem to find the answer. I have an existing instance of
ELK running. I'm currently setting up a new instance on separate hardware.
I want to copy the documnets/indexes over to the new instance so I can
preserve the history. Can someone point me to a doc or give some tips on
how to accomplish this?

Thank you,

Didjit

If you want to keep the same cluster name, just add the new nodes to the
existing cluster, let it rebalance, then remove the olds nodes.

Thanks. I wish I could find docs that explain more in detail.

in the elasticsearch.yml, would I name both instances with the same cluster
name, each with their own node name. Fire both instances up. After they
sync, then just shut down the original instance?

If there is a doc you can point me to, that would help too.

Thanks

Pretty much.
Your nodes do need to be configured with the same cluster name. If you let
the original node default to "elasticsearch" then you could let the new
node default to "elasticsearch" as well.
You don't need to configure their node names
