Practice and document our logsearch disaster recovery #197

Closed cnelson closed 7 years ago

cnelson commented 7 years ago

In order to be able to quickly restore from backups as an SRE I want a tested, documented process for restoring elastic search for standing up a new logsearch cluster and importing data into it from our s3 backups.

Acceptance Criteria

Background

If our logsearch system is breached we may need to preserve it in it's current state for forensic purposes and would need to spin up a new logsearch deployment concurrently to compare data from known-good-backups to what is in the compromised deployment.
