      • indices array[object] Required

        Array of objects containing information about the data stream’s backing indices. The last item in this array contains information about the stream’s current write index.

            The list of downsampling rounds to execute as part of this downsampling configuration

        • enabled boolean

          If defined, it turns data stream lifecycle on/off (true/false) for this data stream. A data stream lifecycle that's disabled (enabled: false) will have no effect on the data stream.

        • rollover object

          Additional properties are allowed.

          Hide rollover attributes Show rollover attributes object
      • name string Required
      • replicated boolean

        If true, the data stream is created and managed by cross-cluster replication and the local cluster can not write into this data stream or change its mappings.

      • rollover_on_write boolean Required

        If true, the next write to this data stream will trigger a rollover first and the document will be indexed in the new backing index. If the rollover fails the indexing request will fail too.

      • status string Required

        Values are green, GREEN, yellow, YELLOW, red, or RED.

      • system boolean

        If true, the data stream is created and managed by an Elastic stack component and cannot be modified through normal user interaction.
