For example, `remote1:my_index` indicates that you want to execute the painless script against the "my_index" index on the "remote1" cluster or project. This request will be forwarded to the "remote1" cluster if you have [configured a connection](docs-content://deploy-manage/remote-clusters/remote-clusters-self-managed.md) to that remote cluster.

Use `_origin:myindex` or `projectAlias:myindex` to target a specific project.
