Connect to a remote cluster

ECE ECK Elastic Cloud Hosted Self Managed

To replicate an index on a remote cluster (Cluster A) to a local cluster (Cluster B), you configure Cluster A as a remote on Cluster B.

To configure a remote cluster from Stack Management in Kibana:

1. Set up a secure connection as needed.
2. Select Remote Clusters from the side navigation.
3. Specify the Elasticsearch endpoint URL, or the IP address or host name of the remote cluster (ClusterA) followed by the transport port (defaults to 9300). For example, cluster.es.eastus2.staging.azure.foundit.no:9400 or 192.168.1.1:9300.
