Hi all,  
currently I have a cluster with 3 nodes (with every roles setted: Master + DATA).  
My Elastic is filled by two different indices, `football_datestamp` and `basketball_datestamp`, where datestamp is YYYY.mm.dd.  
I would like to have `football` index only on node3 so I have configured into elasticsearch.yml of node3 the key value`"index.routing.allocation.include.tag" : "footballTeam"`.  
How can I specify the dynamic index name into the classic CURL command to redistribute shards on node3?  
I mean, something like:

```
PUT football*/_settings
{
  "index.routing.allocation.include.tag": "footballTeam"
}

```

Will does it work?

At the beginning, when my Filebeats clients send messages of `football` index, messages will be distributed on all the nodes, isn't it? is there a way to make the CURL command static when elasticsearch startup? I don't really like the idea to execute a command everytime.

ps: is there a page where I can find all the possible attributes of shards allocation? taking a look to ELK documentation I didn't find a complete list.  
thanks in advance
