Export/backup kibana index

[rashidkpc]

It would be nice to have a simple REST endpoint, and a button, for backing up and restoring the entire .kibana index.

How does this relate to #4589, #4265, and #4288?

A very simple implementation of this would be to copy the current index to a new index with a timestamp. Then have the option to revert to any of the time stamped indices.

Another option would be to use the elasticsearch backup api

Any progress with this?

Now we will have the reindex api, if that api is exposed through curator then that will solve this problem.

👍 Why not perform a snapshot on the index, you can then offer an option to restore to a specific snapshot. We're currently doing this manually with curator.

[elvarb]

Agreed, that is better. Now we just need a simple kibana plugin to interface with the snapshot interface for restoring 👍

This looks like a duplicate of #5431
