Entsporter

An import export tool for Enterprise Search engine settings.

Import and export Elastic App Search engine configuration, including:

• Schema configuration
• Curations
• Synonyms
• Field weights
• Boosts
• Result settings
• Precision tuning setting

Only tested with 8.6 App Search managed engines so far. It probably works with versions as far back as 7.17.

Installation

Clone this repo and run:

npm install

Usage

Export an App Search engine parks to a JSON file, engine.json.

npm run index.js export-app-search-engine parks -- \
  --app-search-endpoint "https://my-cloud-deployment.ent.us-central1.gcp.cloud.es.io" \
  --app-search-private-key "private-REDACTED" \
  --output-json "engine.json"

Import an exported engine's settings from a file engine.json into a new engine, new-parks.

npm run index.js import-app-search-engine new-parks -- \
  --app-search-endpoint "https://my-cloud-deployment.ent.us-central1.gcp.cloud.es.io" \
  --app-search-private-key "private-REDACTED" \
  --input-json "engine.json"

The script only allows importing the settings into a new engine that the script will create. It's not possible to use this script to import settings from one engine into another engine that already has content.
