Hi,

I have a index template created and it creates new indices daily based on date. I have created a new pipelne and simulation of data with it works fine. Using reindex i can create new indices which uses the custom pipeline. However i need to create new indexes everyday .

Is there a way to define the pipeline with the index template ?

Regards,  
Abey

Hey,

there is not currently. You have to specify the pipeline as part of the index operation.
