Hello!

Why is the number\_of\_replicas 1 for new indices in the cluster even though if I use GET \_template the number appears to be 0?

```auto
"settings" : {
      "index" : {
        
        "refresh_interval" : "30s",
        "number_of_shards" : "8",
        "number_of_replicas" : "0"
      }

```

Thanks

Welcome to our community! 😃

Are there other templates in place that might over ride this?

Thank you!  
No, there aren't any templates that could override this one.
