Hi All, I have a working pipeline with static ES Index as output . But when i am trying to create index dynamically with index template , then indexes are not created . Below are my configuration , output { stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["node1:9200","node2:9200", "node3:9200"] index =\> "dynaminc\_index-%{dd.MM.YYYY}" manage\_template =\> true template\_overwrite =\> true template =\> "/etc/logstash/templates/dynamic.json" template\_name =\> "dynamic" user =\> "logstash\_internal" password =\> "LS-INTERNAL" } ``` } ``` below are the content of template { "template": "dynamic", "settings": { "index": { "number\_of\_shards": "5", "number\_of\_replicas": "2", "refresh\_interval": "5s" ``` } } ``` } Please let me know what i am missing here . It is bit critical issue so urgent suggestions would be appreciated . ---

> [@SJN8](#): > > "template": "dynamic", This template will only apply to an index named `dynamic`. To make it apply to your index, change this to an appropriate pattern, e.g. `dynamic_index*`. ---

You have to make the change in the index template. You can find an example of how to use patterns [in the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.1/indices-templates.html). ---

> [@SJN8](#): > > "template": "dynamic-", > > "index\_patterns": ["dynamic-"], Looks like you are missing a wildcard (`*`) at the end. ---

What does the template stored in Elasticsearch look like? > [@SJN8](#): > > #template\_overwrite =\> true You may need to enable this for the template to be replaced. The changed template will then apply only when new indices are created. ---

Same with enabling template\_overwrite =\> true , do i need to mention template management details in logstash.yml as well , manage\_template =\> true template\_overwrite =\> true { "dynamic-_": { "order": 0, "index\_patterns": [ "dynamic-_" ], "settings": { "index": { "number\_of\_shards": "5", "number\_of\_replicas": "2", "refresh\_interval": "5s" } }, "mappings": {}, "aliases": {} } } ---
