Hi, I have elastic agent managed by fleet and I want to define primaries and replicas. By default it has 1 primary and 1 replica but want to do 3 primary and 0 replica. I tried to play with data stream but nothing seem to work. I want all of the future integrations will have 3:0 as well. Please help me to overcome this issue. ---

Is there a reason you want this? ---

You'd be better off keeping the current approach then to be honest. Otherwise you end up with excess shards, and no redundancy. ---

I understand that but is there any way to accomplish my goal? ---

You will have to create an index template that picks up the names of your data streams or indices and set the primary and replicas in that. > **[Change mappings and settings for a data stream | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.2\] |...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/data-streams-change-mappings-and-settings.html)** Of course when you sent 3 primaries and 0 replicas, if you lose any of the primaries, the entire index will be lost or corrupt. ---
