Elasticdump is a tool for moving and saving indices from Elasticsearch and OpenSearch
10M+
Tools for moving and saving indices.

1.0.0 of Elasticdump changes the format of the files created by the dump. Files created with version 0.x.x of this tool are likely not to work with versions going forward. To learn more about the breaking changes, vist the release notes for version 1.0.0. If you recive an "out of memory" error, this is probably or most likely the cause.2.0.0 of Elasticdump removes the bulk options. These options were buggy, and differ between versions of Elasticsearch. If you need to export multiple indexes, look for the multielasticdump section of the tool.2.1.0 of Elasticdump moves from using scan/scroll (ES 1.x) to just scroll (ES 2.x). This is a backwards-compatible change within Elasticsearch, but performance may suffer on Elasticsearch versions prior to 2.x.3.0.0 of Elasticdump has the default queries updated to only work for ElasticSearch version 5+. The tool may be compatible with earlier versions of Elasticsearch, but our version detection method may not work for all ES cluster topologies5.0.0 of Elasticdump contains a breaking change for the s3 transport. s3Bucket and s3RecordKey params are no longer supported please use s3urls instead6.1.0 and higher of Elasticdump contains a change to the upload/dump process. This change allows for overlapping promise processing. The benefit of which is improved performance due increased parallel processing, but a side-effect exists where-by records (data-set) aren't processed in a sequential order (the ordering is no longer guaranteed)6.67.0 and higher of Elasticdump will quit if the node version does not match the minimum requirement needed (v10.0.0)6.76.0 and higher of Elasticdump added support for OpenSearch (forked from Elasticsearch 7.10.2)(local)

Elasticdump works by sending an input to an output. Both can be either an elasticsearch URL or a File.
Elasticsearch:
{protocol}://{host}:{port}/{index}http://127.0.0.1:9200/my_indexFile:
{FilePath}/Users/evantahler/Desktop/dump.jsonStdio:
$You can then do things like:

If Elasticsearch is not being served from the root directory the --input-index and
--output-index are required. If they are not provided, the additional sub-directories will
be parsed for index and type.
Elasticsearch:
{protocol}://{host}:{port}/{sub}/{directory...}http://127.0.0.1:9200/api/search# Copy a single index from a elasticsearch:

If you prefer using docker to use elasticdump, you can download this project from docker hub:
docker pull elasticdump/elasticsearch-dump
Then you can use it just by :
docker run --rm -ti elasticdump/elasticsearch-dump-v <your dumps dir>:<your mount point> to your docker containerExample:
# Copy an index from production to staging with mappings:
docker run --rm -ti elasticdump/elasticsearch-dump \
--input=http://production.es.com:9200/my_index \
--output=http://staging.es.com:9200/my_index \
--type=mapping
docker run --rm -ti elasticdump/elasticsearch-dump \
--input=http://production.es.com:9200/my_index \
--output=http://staging.es.com:9200/my_index \
--type=data
# Backup index data to a file:
docker run --rm -ti -v /data:/tmp elasticdump/elasticsearch-dump \
--input=http://production.es.com:9200/my_index \
--output=/tmp/my_index_mapping.json \
--type=data
If you need to run using localhost as your ES host:
docker run --net=host --rm -ti elasticdump/elasticsearch-dump \
--input=http://staging.es.com:9200/my_index \
--output=http://localhost:9200/my_index \
--type=data
The file format generated by this tool is line-delimited JSON files. The dump file itself is not valid JSON, but each line is. We do this so that dumpfiles can be streamed and appended without worrying about whole-file parser integrity.
For example, if you wanted to parse every line, you could do:
while read LINE; do jsonlint-py "${LINE}" ; done < dump.data.json

version: %%version%%
Usage: elasticdump --input SOURCE --output DESTINATION [OPTIONS]
--input
Source location (required)
--input-index
Source index and type
(default: all, example: index/type)
--output
Destination location (required)
--output-index
Destination index and type
(default: all, example: index/type)

--intervalCap
The maximum number of transport requests that can be made within a given <concurrencyInterval>.
(default: 5)
--carryoverConcurrencyCount
If true, any incomplete requests from a <concurrencyInterval> will be carried over to
the next interval, effectively reducing the number of new requests that can be created
in that next interval. If false, up to <intervalCap> requests can be created in the
next interval regardless of the number of incomplete requests from the previous interval.
(default: true)
--throttleInterval
Delay in milliseconds between getting data from an inputTransport and sending it to an
outputTransport.
(default: 1)
--debug
Display the elasticsearch commands being used
(default: false)
--quiet
Suppress all messages except for errors
(default: false)
--type

(default: data, options: [settings, analyzer, data, mapping, policy, alias, template, component_template, index_template])
--filterSystemTemplates
Whether to remove metrics-*-* and logs-*-* system templates
(default: true])
--templateRegex
Regex used to filter templates before passing to the output transport
(default: ((metrics|logs|\\..+)(-.+)?)
--delete
Delete documents one-by-one from the input as they are
moved. Will not delete the source index
(default: false)
--searchBody
Preform a partial extract based on search results
when ES is the input, default values are
if ES > 5
`'{"query": { "match_all": {} }, "stored_fields": ["*"], "_source": true }'`
else
`'{"query": { "match_all": {} }, "fields": ["*"], "_source": true }'`
[As of 6.68.0] If the searchBody is preceded by a @ symbol, elasticdump will perform a file lookup
in the location specified. NB: File must contain valid JSON
--searchWithTemplate
Enable to use Search Template when using --searchBody
If using Search Template then searchBody has to consist of "id" field and "params" objects
If "size" field is defined within Search Template, it will be overridden by --size parameter
See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-template.html for
further information
(default: false)
--searchBodyTemplate
A method/function which can be called to the searchBody
doc.searchBody = { query: { match_all: {} }, stored_fields: [], _source: true };
May be used multiple times.
Additionally, searchBodyTemplate may be performed by a module. See [searchBody Template](#search-template) below.
--headers
Add custom headers to Elastisearch requests (helpful when
your Elasticsearch instance sits behind a proxy)
(default: '{"User-Agent": "elasticdump"}')
Type/direction based headers are supported .i.e. input-headers/output-headers
(these will only be added based on the current flow type input/output)
--params
Add custom parameters to Elastisearch requests uri. Helpful when you for example
want to use elasticsearch preference
--input-params is a specific params extension that can be used when fetching data with the scroll api
--output-params is a specific params extension that can be used when indexing data with the bulk index api
NB : These were added to avoid param pollution problems which occur when an input param is used in an output source
(default: null)
--sourceOnly
Output only the json contained within the document _source
Normal: {"_index":"","_type":"","_id":"", "_source":{SOURCE}}
sourceOnly: {SOURCE}
(default: false)
--ignore-errors
Will continue the read/write loop on write error
(default: false)
--scrollId
The last scroll Id returned from elasticsearch.
This will allow dumps to be resumed used the last scroll Id &
`scrollTime` has not expired.
--scrollTime
Time the nodes will hold the requested search in order.
(default: 10m)
--scroll-with-post
Use a HTTP POST method to perform scrolling instead of the default GET
(default: false)
--maxSockets
How many simultaneous HTTP requests can we process make?
(default:
5 [node <= v0.10.x] /
Infinity [node >= v0.11.x] )
--timeout
Integer containing the number of milliseconds to wait for
a request to respond before aborting the request. Passed
directly to the request library. Mostly used when you don't
care too much if you lose some data when importing
but rather have speed.
--offset
Integer containing the number of rows you wish to skip
ahead from the input transport. When importing a large
index, things can go wrong, be it connectivity, crashes,
someone forgets to `screen`, etc. This allows you
to start the dump again from the last known line written
(as logged by the `offset` in the output). Please be
advised that since no sorting is specified when the
dump is initially created, there's no real way to
guarantee that the skipped rows have already been
written/parsed. This is more of an option for when
you want to get most data as possible in the index
without concern for losing some rows in the process,
similar to the `timeout` option.
(default: 0)
--noRefresh
Disable input index refresh.
Positive:
1. Much increase index speed
2. Much less hardware requirements
Negative:
1. Recently added data may not be indexed
Recommended using with big data indexing,
where speed and system health in a higher priority
than recently added data.
--inputTransport
Provide a custom js file to use as the input transport
--outputTransport
Provide a custom js file to use as the output transport
--toLog
When using a custom outputTransport, should log lines
be appended to the output stream?
(default: true, except for `$`)
--transform
A method/function which can be called to modify documents
before writing to a destination. A global variable 'doc'
is available.
Example script for computing a new field 'f2' as doubled
value of field 'f1':
doc._source["f2"] = doc._source.f1 * 2;
May be used multiple times.
Additionally, transform may be performed by a module. See [Module Transform](#module-transform) below.
--awsChain
