Update index settings Beta

PUT /_settings

Changes dynamic index settings in real time. For data streams, index setting changes are applied to all backing indices by default.

Query parameters

  • If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

  • If true, returns settings in flat format.

  • If true, returns settings in flat format.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • If true, existing index settings remain unchanged.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
