I would like to create an ingest pipeline that will create a field called "free\_ratio". The pipeline has to be applied on current ".monitoring-es" index.
The definition of the pipeline is following:
```auto
{
"free_ratio" : {
"description" : "Pipeline used to calculate the free filesystem ratio.",
"processors" : [
{
"script" : {
"source" : "ctx.free_ratio2 = (float)ctx.node_stats.fs.total.available_in_bytes / (float)ctx.node_stats.fs.total.total_in_bytes",
"if" : "ctx['type'] == 'node_stats'",
"description" : "Calculate free FS ratio"
}
}
]
}
}
```
Is there a way how to enable this pipeline automatically for all ".monitoring-es" indices?
I have added this pipeline as a "default\_pipeline" into the index template, but this does not did the trick.
Thanks!

Think you are looking for an [Index Template](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-templates.html) where you can apply a pipeline to multiple indexes.
`"index_patterns": ["te*", "bar*"],`

I have configured the index settings in the index template to use a default index pipeline.
