Elasticsearch S3 Snapshot/Restore

gistfile1.txt

Install this plugin on all nodes:

https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws

Then in your elasticsearch.yml file (on all nodes), setup your AWS/S3 credentials:

cloud:
    aws:
        access_key: your_access_key
        secret_key: your_secret_key
        
Then you can create an S3 repository definition:

$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_s3_repository' -d '{
  "type": "s3",
  "settings": {
    "bucket": "my_bucket_name",
    "region": "us-west"
  }
}'

Then you can create a snapshot of your data:

$ curl -XPUT "localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_s3_repository/2014_03_19_snapshot?wait_for_completion=true"
