Hello,

I created the following dynamic template to apply a custom mapping on the "kubernetes" object and it's subobjects and fields:

It should match these:  
kubernetes.container.name  
kubernetes.pod.name  
kubernetes.pod.id  
kubernetes.namespace  
{  
"kubernetes\_object": {  
"path\_match": "kubernetes\*",  
"mapping": {  
"dynamic": true  
}  
}  
}  
The problem is, it also matches fields like [🤔](https://golmart.com.vn/)

> kuberneteser.container.name

> kubernetesaaaaa.container.name

How can I match **kubernetes.** exactly? I tried various syntaxes but had no luck

how about this (unless I misunderstood you).

```auto
PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "dynamic_templates": [
      {
        "kubernetes": {
          "path_match": "kubernetes.*",
          "mapping": {
            "type": "keyword"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

PUT my_index/_doc/1
{
  "kuebernetes": {
    "foo": "bar"
  },
  "kuebernetesaaaa": true
}

GET my_index/_mapping

```
