[solved] Marvel + shield: issue with action.auto_create_index

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi!

I'm trying to configure shield on an existing deployment (elasticsearch, marvel, shield; version 2.3.3).
As written in the documentation, I've in my config auto_create_index configured:

But when I try to launch elasticsearch I've this error:

How I can configure .security template?

Linked in security-index-template,
curl http://admin:passw0rd@localhost:9200/_template/security-index-template?pretty
but seems empty
curl http://admin:passw0rd@localhost:9200/_template/.security?pretty { }

Thanks in advance!

I think it should actually be action.auto_create_index: +.marvel-*.

Thanks @warkolm for the reply, but nope :-/

Exception in thread "main" ElasticsearchException[Failed to load plugin class [org.elasticsearch.shield.ShieldPlugin]]; nested: InvocationTargetException; nested: IllegalArgumentException[the [action.auto_create_index] setting value [+.marvel-*] is too restrictive. disable [action.auto_create_index] or set it to [.security]];

Can you set it to action.auto_create_index: .marvel-*,.security
