Config mappings not working

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I am trying to use config mappings as described here

I have got a json file that has the mapping for a type called "session"
which I want to automatically be used for an index called "sessions"

My elasticsearch.yml file is located at /etc/elasticsearch, so as
described in the linked site I have put the session.json at
/etc/elasticsearch/config/mappings/sessions/session.json

When I run curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/sessions/' and look at
http://localhost:9200/sessions/_mapping however there isn't a mapping
defined for the type "session"

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

Alex

Hey,

hard to tell without seeing the file you put there. In general I would not
use the mapping functionality via files, but switch to using index
templates. The reason for this, that you do not have to copy your mapping
files over, when you create and fireup a new node, but you only have to add
it your cluster.

if you still think, this is a bug, please create a github issue, so we can
reproduce it completely.
