## I am new to ES ... I am looking at the existing codes which my team is using

es.put\_script("my\_custom\_template\_1\_id", my\_custom\_template\_1\_query)

I can retrieve the the template info by using the SPECIFIC template id like this

```auto
POST _render/template
{
  "id": "my_custom_template_1_id",
  "params": {
        "searchterm": "whatever",
    }
}

```

or

```auto
es.get_script(my_custom_template_1_id)

```

But I can't find a way to list the all template IDs. I've tried all the "template" api from kibana, it lists something but not the my\_custom\_template\_1\_id.Here is the output I got when calling GET \_cat/templates

```auto
tenant_template [.kibana_-*_*, .kibana_0*_*, .kibana_1*_*, .kibana_2*_*, .kibana_3*_*, .kibana_4*_*] 0  

```

I don't know whether it is file based index/template or not which I found it is NOT supported ... anyhow, is there any way for me to list all the my\_custom\_template\_1\_id, my\_custom\_template\_2\_id and etc??

ES Version = 7.10
