[These docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/tune-for-indexing-speed.html) contain some good guidance. Indexing is often bound by disk I/O so make sure you have SSD level performance for optimal indexing performance.

# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================
    #
    # NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
    # Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
    # understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
    #
    # The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
    # the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
    #
    # Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
    # https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html
    #
    # ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
    #
    # Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
    #
    #cluster.name: my-application
    #
    # ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
    #
    # Use a descriptive name for the node:
    #
    #node.name: node-1
    #
    # Add custom attributes to the node:
    #
    #node.attr.rack: r1
    #
    # ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
    #
    # Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
    #
    path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
    #
    # Path to log files:
    #
    path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
    #
    # ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
    #
    # Lock the memory on startup:
    #
    #bootstrap.memory_lock: true
    #
    # Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
    # on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
    # limit.
    #
    # Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
    #
    # ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
    #
    # Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
    #
    #network.host: 192.168.0.1
    #
    # Set a custom port for HTTP:
    #
    #http.port: 9200
    #
    # For more information, consult the network module documentation.
    #
    # --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
    #
    # Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
    # The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
    #
    #discovery.seed_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
    discovery.seed_hosts: ["host-1","host-2","host-3","host-4","host-5","host-6","host-7","host-8","host-9","host-10","host-11","host-12"]
    #
    # Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
    #
    cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1","node-2","node-3","node-4","node-5","node-6","node-7","node-8","node-9","node-10","node-11","noe-12","node-13","node-14","node-15","node-16","node-17","node-18","node-19","node-20","node-21","node-22","node-23","node-24","node-25","node-26","node-27","node-28","node-29","node-30","node-31","node-32","node-33","node-34","node-35","node-36"]
    #
    # For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.
    #
    # ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------
    #
    # Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:
    #
    gateway.recover_after_nodes: 9
    #
    # For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.
    #
    # ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
    #
    # Require explicit names when deleting indices:
    #
    # action.destructive_requires_name: true

    #index.refresh_interval: "300ms"

    index.refresh_interval: 30s

```

give me some tips to fix and speed index please, thanks a lot

Did you look at the docs I linked to? If you are having issues with indexing performance, have you determined what the bottleneck is, e.g. disk utilization?
