Dynamic_date_format for the whole cluster

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I would like to add a date format using dynamic_date_format. The
documentationhttp://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/root-object-type.htmlshow how to do it for types, but is it possible to put this setting on the
cluster so that all nodes will honor this date format?

I tried PUTting the following to http://localhost:9200/_cluster and
http://localhost:9200/, but it does not seem to work:

{
"dynamic_date_formats": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
}

You can put a template that matches all indices, and in it have a mapping called default, where you configure the dynamic_date_formats. This means that for each index created the template will be matched, and the default type mapping will be applied to all types within that index.

Great idea! Thank you! :slight_smile:
