I have a document like below, the "tags" field is a nested document, and I  
want to make all child field for tags document to be index = not\_analyzed.  
The problem is that field in tags will be dynamic. any tag could possible.  
So how I can define dynamic mapping for this.

{  
'level': 'info',  
'tags': {  
'content': 'Nov 6 11:07:10 ja10 Keepalived\_healthcheckers: Adding  
service [172.16.08.105:80] to VS [172.16.1.21:80]',

'upgrade': 'no upgrade configuration for this alert'  
},

You can define a dynamic template where the path is every field of your  
nested type:

"dynamic\_templates": [  
{  
"mytemplate": {  
"path\_match": "mynested.\*",  
"mapping": {  
"index" : "not\_analyzed"  
}  
}  
}  
]

Cheers,
