Hello all,
Stupid problem over here im sure... i just cant place the finger on it... If you could point me to the problem it would be greatly apreciated.
heres the template :
```
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_template/ftg' -d '
{
"order" : 0,
"template": "ftg-*",
"settings" : {
"index.refresh_interval" : "5s"
"index.number_of_replicas" : 0
"index.codec" : "best_compression"
"number_of_shards" : 5
}
},
"mappings" : {
"_default_" : {
"_all" : { "enabled" : false },
"dynamic_templates" : [ {
"message_field" : {
"match" : "message",
"match_mapping_type" : "string",
"mapping" : {
"type" : "string", "index" : "analyzed", "omit_norms" : true,
"fields" : {
"raw" : {"type": "string", "index" : "not_analyzed", "ignore_above" : 256}
}
}
}
}, {
"string_fields" : {
"match" : "*",
"match_mapping_type" : "string",
"mapping" : {
"type" : "string", "index" : "analyzed", "omit_norms" : true,
"fields" : {
"raw" : {"type": "string", "index" : "not_analyzed", "ignore_above" : 256}
}
}
}
} ],
"properties" : {
"@version": { "type": "string", "index": "not_analyzed" },
"geoip" : {
"type" : "object",
"dynamic": true,
"properties" : {
"location" : { "type" : "geo_point" }
}
}
}
}
}
}'
```
im sure the problem is pretty dumb, but I keep getting error code 34, execting a comma... Cant find where.
please pretty please ?
thank you

Hi,
There is one end brace too many for settings.
And commas are necessary for the end of each lines except the last line in settings.

awesome.... so stupid of me
unfortunately still have another question. an easy one, again
im trying to use a index template, as you noticed..., stilllll even if the template gets used, ( in term of setting and such ) it doesnt work with the "type"
in my logstash file ive setup it to be type "FTG" yet, apparentely the log it self have a "field" that I cant drop. that push the type for the logs.. "event" "traffic" "utm"
How would someone be able to make em all "ftg" ?
Not sure if im clear enought, sorry for that :\
