I'm a LS 1.4.0 / ES 1.1.1 user and I seem to be hitting some precedence problems with my custom ES template - [https://gist.github.com/davidski/84fb9e2b32c111bfd2d5](https://gist.github.com/davidski/84fb9e2b32c111bfd2d5). My Elasticsearch logs are full of errors about my src\_geoip field not being a fully qualified IP address, which suggests that the wildcard "\*ip" dynamic match is taking precedence over the specific "src\_geoip" field later in the file. Is the interaction between multiple matches a defined case in ES? Since I want specific definitions to always be honored over wildcard matches, should these more specific matches be placed first in the template file in order to take effect? Thanks for the help!
