Alias
editAlias
editaction: alias description: "Add/Remove selected indices to or from the specified alias" options: name: alias_name add: filters: - filtertype: ... remove: filters: - filtertype: ...
Empty values and commented lines will result in the default value, if any, being selected. If a setting is set, but not used by a given action, it will be ignored.
This action adds and/or removes indices from the alias identified by name
The filters under the add and remove directives define which
indices will be added and/or removed. This is an atomic action, so adds and
removes happen instantaneously.
The extra_settings option allows the addition of extra
settings with the add directive. These settings are ignored for remove. An
example of how these settings can be used to create a filtered alias might be:
action: alias
description: "Add/Remove selected indices to or from the specified alias"
options:
name: alias_name
extra_settings:
filter:
term:
user: kimchy
add:
filters:
- filtertype: ...
remove:
filters:
- filtertype: ...
Before creating a filtered alias, first ensure that the fields already exist in the mapping.
