How to migrate to a new Cluster

In this FAQ we show you how easy you can migrate your indices to a new cluster with the QSC.

setup the new opensearch cluster with the url https://my-new-opensearch-cluster.quasiris.de
go to Index -> RAW -> instances and configure a new instance

{
  "instances": [
    {
      "type": "elastic_aws_7",
      "state": "active"
    },
    {
      "type": "elastic_aws_7",
      "state": "standby",
      "endpoint": "https://my-new-opensearch-cluster.quasiris.de"
    }
  ]
}

type: "elastic_aws_7" - defines the type of the cluster
state:
- active: search requests and feeding updates are send to the active instance
- stanby: just feeding updates are send to this instance
endpoint: the url of the cluster, if no endpoint is specified the default endpoint configured in the application.yaml is used
after configuring the standby instance a reindex must be startet (Feeding -> Job -> Run Job)
After the job has successfully completed, the state must be switched

{
  "instances": [
    {
      "type": "elastic_aws_7",
      "state": "standby"
    },
    {
      "type": "elastic_aws_7",
      "state": "active",
      "endpoint": "https://my-new-opensearch-cluster.quasiris.de"
    }
  ]
}

After at most 5 minutes (caching), the new cluster is now processing the requests
