Below is the elasticsearch output plugin in logstash
```
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["https://10.5.36.5:9200"]
index => "test-axiom"
# ilm_rollover_alias => "hub-axiom-new"
# ilm_pattern => "{now/d}-000001"
# ilm_policy => "axiom5-new"
document_id => "%{unqid}"
template => "/etc/logstash/templatehot/logstash-test.json"
user => "adfad"
password => "dnjvafaj"
ssl => true
ssl_certificate_verification => false
cacert => "/etc/logstash/ca.crt"
}
}
```
This is the template i am using so that the index gets created in hot node
{
"index\_patterns": ["test-ax\*"],
"settings": {
"number\_of\_shards": 1,
"number\_of\_replicas": 0,
"index.routing.allocation.require.data":"hot"
}
}
the index is getting created in warm node instead
```
test-axiom 0 p STARTED 32625 64.6mb 10.5.36.10 data-warm-3
test-axiom 0 r STARTED 32625 65mb 10.5.36.14 data-warm-1
```

Could you run:
```
GET /_template/
GET /test-axiom
```

I can see that you have also one replica which means that the template is not used or is not the one you think.

Yes @dadoonet the template does not exist when i run this **GET /\_template/** but i am applying the correct template i have checked it several times
`elasticsearch - Attempting to install template {:manage_template=>{"index_patterns"=>["test-ax*"], "settings"=>{"number_of_shards"=>1, "number_of_replicas"=>0, "index.routing.allocation.require.data"=>"hot"}}}`
Also i am getting the above log from logstash which implicates its attempting to install template

Could you try to install the template manually from Kibana dev console to see if there is any problem?
The template name by default is `logstash`. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-template\_name](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-template_name)
You might have to set `template_overwrite`. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-template\_overwrite](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-template_overwrite)
