Hello, Is there any setting that specifies the \_ttl for all documents from a index? I saw that there is a setting per type, that works[1], but when I try to put the same setting per index, it doesn't work.

You can do that I guess using index templates: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html#indices-templates](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html#indices-templates) -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 1 septembre 2014 à 16:58:32, Octavian ([octavian.rinciog@gmail.com](mailto:octavian.rinciog@gmail.com)) a écrit: Hello, Is there any setting that specifies the \_ttl for all documents from a index?
