Elasticsearch aliases and indexes

By knowing the structure of Elasticsearch configurations, you can implement your strategy for purging, backing up, and restoring data.

The following tables describe the aliases and their relationship with indexes for process summaries and case summaries. Use them to maintain Elasticsearch data.
