No not exaclty, or maybe - I started a new topic on it ( [[Index templates](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/index-templates/279952)] ) where maybe it's easier to understan. I at least want it structured the same way as in the database. I tried using index template but that resulted in elastic apparently making (millions) more documents than there is. (I read about it having something to do with the nested datatype)?

I started a new thread and got the advice to bring the topic to Elasticsearch instead of KIbana. I can do so, I also got a tip trying to use mongoconnector of some sort instead of monstache to synd the data. But I can't find any good instructions or tutorial on that. Can this help fix this issue?
