Create or update an index template Added in 7.9.0
Index templates define settings, mappings, and aliases that can be applied automatically to new indices.
Path parameters
-
Index or template name
Query parameters
-
create boolean
If
true
, this request cannot replace or update existing index templates. -
master_timeout string
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.
-
cause string
User defined reason for creating/updating the index template
Body Required
-
index_patterns string | array[string]
-
composed_of array[string]
An ordered list of component template names. Component templates are merged in the order specified, meaning that the last component template specified has the highest precedence.
-
template object
Additional properties are allowed.
-
data_stream object
Additional properties are allowed.
-
priority number
Priority to determine index template precedence when a new data stream or index is created. The index template with the highest priority is chosen. If no priority is specified the template is treated as though it is of priority 0 (lowest priority). This number is not automatically generated by Elasticsearch.
-
version number
-
_meta object
-
allow_auto_create boolean
This setting overrides the value of the
action.auto_create_index
cluster setting. If set totrue
in a template, then indices can be automatically created using that template even if auto-creation of indices is disabled viaactions.auto_create_index
. If set tofalse
, then indices or data streams matching the template must always be explicitly created, and may never be automatically created. -
ignore_missing_component_templates array[string]
The configuration option ignore_missing_component_templates can be used when an index template references a component template that might not exist
-
deprecated boolean
Marks this index template as deprecated. When creating or updating a non-deprecated index template that uses deprecated components, Elasticsearch will emit a deprecation warning.
