Hi community! I'm looking at increasing the resiliency of the .kibana index - adding replicas, setting translog durability, updating refresh interval. All good stuff. The next thing I'd like to do is enforce allocation awareness (zone) for that index. I'm used to using allocation awareness at the cluster level, but is there a way to enforce it for a specific index? We're on Elasticsearch 6.2.3 and 6.1.1 (multiple environments). What have other folks done to protect their .kibana index? Thanks ---

No, allocation awareness is a cluster-wide setting. Could you explain why you want to apply it to this one index and not to any other indices? ---
