Upgraded to a new PC and now cant see indicies version 9 - Windows

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

As the title suggests, I copied over my entire data folder (9TB) along with my elasticsearch and kibana folders to a new machine. Nothing else changed, all drive letters and folders are still the same, however, now I can’t see any of my data.

Looking for some friendly suggestions on how to fix the issue.

Thank you in advance,

Nate

Welcome!

To upgrade your machine, I’d recommend letting Elasticsearch doing the copy for you.

So I’d start the new machine, connect on the same network, then add it to the cluster, make sure that all replicas are set to 1, which will copy the data over the network and then stop the old machine.

Another solution is to create a full backup of the data and restore in the new cluster.

All that is described in this document.

But copying files directly is not something recommended or supported.
