README

Stand-alone project for manual AWS Elasitcsearch snapshot and restore

• Tested with AWS ES 6.3-7.1

Prerequisites

• Change default parameters in parameters/dev.json
• Switch into your dev account / dev role
• Execute ./validate.sh in order to validate the CF template
• Execute ./deploystack.sh dev to roll out infrastructure for dev

Start

1. Register a snapshot S3 repository (edit the environment specific parameters inside register-snap-es.py)

# Register repository

python3 register-snap-es.py

2. Take a snapshot - see below

# Taking a snapshot

curl -XPUT 'https://vpc-YOURCLUSTER.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com/_snapshot/essnapshot/NAME_OF_THE_SNAPSHOT?wait_for_completion=true'

3. Restore a snapshot (make sure all target indicies have been either renamed or deleted - except for the .kibana) Note: We skip restoring the .kibana index - as this makes no sense for us

# Restoring a snapshot

curl -XPOST 'https://vpc-YOURCLUSTER.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com/_snapshot/essnapshot/NAME_OF_THE_SNAPSHOT/_restore' -d '{"indices": "*,-.kibana"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
