Sync Clusters

[Chen_Levi]

Hi

i have a Prod ES Cluster (elastic.co) and a Staging one.
i want to create a nightly process that sync the Prod cluster into Staging cluster so we will have updated data from prod.

the way i want to do that is the following:

• create a snapshot repository with GCS repo on prod (write mode)
• Create a snapshot repository with the same GCS repo on staging cluster (with source only read only mode)
• run snapshot on prod
• restore snapshot on staging

Question is regarding the 'global cluster state' and system indexes.
how do i know if i should skip those as i only need the actual data?

thanks
CL

You can safely skip those parts, as the existing cluster already has those in place.
