Index Policies Error

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi, I have a problem with ILM, index life management, since I have followed the steps that appear in this guide Configure a lifecycle policy | Elasticsearch Guide [master] | Elastic

My current index pattern is called filebeat-2021.06

The index template that I created is called templateindex

The name of the index policy is Filebeat_Policies

PUT _index_template / my_template { "index_patterns" : [ "templateindex ], 

    
  "template" : { "settings" : { "number_of_shards" : 1 , "number_of_replicas" : 1 , "index.lifecycle.name" : "templateindex" , 
     
       
       
        
      "index.lifecycle.rollover_alias" : "Filebeat_policies"  
    }
  }
}

The error it gives me when putting it in the dev tools is the following

{
  "error" : "Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/_index_template?pretty=true] and method [PUT], allowed: [GET]",
  "status" : 405
}

Thank you very much, I am quite desperate, if someone can help me I will be very grateful

It looks like the _index_template endpoint was added in Elasticsearch 7.8. Which version are you using?

Thanks for using Elasticsearch!

The request you're trying to execute has several problems (spaces in the URL, missing ending quotes in the index_patterns array)

Here's the request that worked for me

PUT _index_template/my_template
{
  "index_patterns": [
    "templateindex"
  ],
  "template": {
    "settings": {
      "number_of_shards": 1,
      "number_of_replicas": 1,
      "index.lifecycle.name": "templateindex",
      "index.lifecycle.rollover_alias": "Filebeat_policies"
    }
  }
}

That`s works for me. I am very grateful to you, this helps me a lot in my project
