Hi,

Each morning I need to do the following two things:

First I set the translog to async state.

```
# curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings?preserve_existing=true' -d '{"index.translog.durability" : "async"}'

```

After that I restart the logstash. This solves my little problem that the elasticsearch slow is.

The question is how do I automate this?

I have tryed by setting:

```
elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["192.168.1.2", "192.168.1.3", "192.168.1.4"]   
    index => "indexname1-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"                         
    template_name => "indexname1"                                
    template => "/opt/logstash/template/indexname1-template.json"
}

```

and /opt/logstash/template/indexname1-template.json has the setting:

```
{
  "template" : "indexname1-*",           
  "settings" : {                        
  "index.refresh_interval" : "5s",    
  "index.translog.durability": "async"
},                                    

```

Kind regards,

---
