Compressing ElasticSearch and extracting template settings

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am using the logstash's built-in ElasticSearch and I want to optimize the
storage used.

I have found the following on the Wiki:

If I Compress _source as shown below, will this setting still be present
after logstash(elasticsearch) has been restarted or will I need to re-apply
it?

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_template/template_logstash/' -d '
{
"template": "logstash-*",
"mappings": {
"default": { "_source": { "compress": "true" } }
}
}'

Also is their a way to pull the current setting and/or templates that
logstash’s elasticsearch is using?

I have found the following on the Wiki:GitHub - elastic/logstash: Logstash - transport and process your logs, events, or other data...

The settings should be persistent.

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_template/template_logstash/'-d '
{
"template": "logstash-*",
"mappings": {
"default": { "_source": { "compress": "true" } }
}

Yes:
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/state?pretty=true'

The ?pretty=true part is optional, but pretty :smiley:
