+## Migrate elasticsearch data
+
+To migrate the collected data from our local elasticsearch to the cloud elasticsearch we can use the following command:
+```
+$ ./migrate-elasticsearch-data.sh localIndex cloudElasticPath
+```
+As first parameter we need to insert the local index to migrate and as second parameter the elastic cloud index path adding the user and password.
+
+Example: 
+```
+$ ./migrate-elasticsearch-data.sh sampleIndex https://user:password@elasticCloudHost/sampleIndex
+```
