Is there a way to enable debug logging on MetaDataCreateIndexService component? I have set the template to not to use replica shards, but when the index is created it's created with a replica shard and it takes down cluster health to yellow. below is the line of log that i can see in the logs at the momen.

You can change log level using the [cluster update settings API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/misc-cluster.html#cluster-logger) hope this helps! --Alex ---
