File templates functional, but unable to retrieve via API

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
#1

Hello all,

I have deployed a number of file templates (config/template/*.json)
which are functional - as evidenced by the fact that newly created
indices inherit their settings as expected - but for some reason I
cannot retrieve any information about them via the API.

Excerpt from _cluster/state :
"metadata" : {
"templates" : { },

And when attempting to GET one directly :
$ curl -XGET "localhost:9200/_template/compress"
{}%

For reference :
$ curl -s -XGET "localhost:9200/" | grep number
"number" : "0.19.11",

Again, the templates work - I just don't see them via the API. Is
there some magic that is required here, or is this a potential bug (or
am I just doing something wrong) ? :slight_smile:

Thank you.

Hi Daniel,

The get index template api only returns index templates that are added
via the put index template api.
If you want to view an index template, you need the add an index
template via the api.
