Howdy All,

Just looking to get some advice on how to get the following dynamic mapping  
working correctly. I'm fairly new to the mapping world in ES and would like  
some help if possible. Can you let me know if this syntax is correct? Thanks

"template": "logstash-\*",  
"settings": {  
"index.refresh\_interval": "5s"  
},  
"mappings": {  
"_default_": {  
"\_all": {  
"enabled": true  
},  
"dynamic\_templates": [{  
"address\_fields": {  
"match": "\*address",  
"match\_mapping\_type": "string",  
"mapping": {  
"type": "ip",  
"index": "not\_analyzed",  
"omit\_norms": true,  
}  
}  
},  
{

"match": "_port",  
"match\_mapping\_type": "string",  
"mapping": {  
"type": "integer",  
"index": "not\_analyzed",
