Methods

You can send data from JSON files using HTTP methods, such as GET, POST or PUT. The path must be given in the -p path argument.

{ "source": { "remote": { "host": "http://my-remote-host.com:9200" }, "index": "clients-2019.*" }, "dest": { "index": "clients-2019" } }

Post

Post requests are sent with --post flag.

{
  "source": {
    "remote": {
      "host": "http://my-remote-host.com:9200"
    },
    "index": "clients-2019.*"
  },
  "dest": {
    "index": "clients-2019"
  }
}

The example below will merge monthly indices into a yearly one by using the JSON file above.

logarithm elastic.co -i clients-2019 --post reindex.json -p _reindex
