Hi All,
I set up ILM for a particular index pattern. After applying this when I check index settings I see the following output:
```auto
GET abc-90010-2023.12.18/_settings
```
```auto
{
"abc-90010-2023.12.18": {
"settings": {
"index": {
"lifecycle": {
"name": "30d-cleanup-history"
},
"routing": {
"allocation": {
"include": {
"_tier_preference": "data_content"
}
}
},
"number_of_shards": "1",
"provided_name": "abc-90010-2023.12.18",
"creation_date": "1702857606753",
"number_of_replicas": "1",
"uuid": "p30SnGHaTp62S1EABhceEA",
"version": {
"created": "8070099"
}
}
}
}
}
```
After doing this, now I wanted to apply some more settings on the same index pattern as follows and gave it priority 1:
```auto
PUT /_index_template/template_90010
{
"index_patterns" : ["abc-90010-202*"],
"priority" : 1,
"template": {
"settings" : {
"highlight.max_analyzed_offset" : 2000000
}
}
}
```
When I run query on index setting now I see that the earlier settings for ILM for the same index pattern have disappeared/ over-written and it only shows the new settings.
```auto
{
"abc-90010-2023.12.18": {
"settings": {
"index": {
"highlight": {
"max_analyzed_offset": "2000000"
},
"routing": {
"allocation": {
"include": {
"_tier_preference": "data_content"
}
}
},
"number_of_shards": "1",
"provided_name": "abc-90010-2023.12.18",
"creation_date": "1702857600899",
"number_of_replicas": "1",
"uuid": "OCF6tsMmR42bUEQcVeXHSw",
"version": {
"created": "8070099"
}
}
}
}
}
```
I need to keep both setting i.e. ILM and offset related for the same index pattern.
How can I achieve that?
