Path parameters
-
Name of the index template to simulate. To test a template configuration before you add it to the cluster, omit this parameter and specify the template configuration in the request body.
Query parameters
-
If true, the template passed in the body is only used if no existing templates match the same index patterns. If false, the simulation uses the template with the highest priority. Note that the template is not permanently added or updated in either case; it is only used for the simulation.
-
User defined reason for dry-run creating the new template for simulation purposes
-
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.
Values are
-1or0. -
If true, returns all relevant default configurations for the index template.
Body
-
This setting overrides the value of the
action.auto_create_indexcluster setting. If set totruein 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. -
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.
-
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.
-
The configuration option ignore_missing_component_templates can be used when an index template references a component template that might not exist
-
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.
