    "test-template": {
        "aliases": {},
        "mappings": {
            "message": {

                            "match_mapping_type": "string"
                        }

                    },
                    "message": {

                        "analyzer": "analyzer_keyword",
                        "fielddata": true,
                        "type": "text"
                    },
                    "streams": {
                        "type": "keyword"
                    },
                    "timestamp": {
                        "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS",
                        "type": "date"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "order": -1,
        "settings": {
            "index": {
                "analysis": {
                    "analyzer": {
                        "analyzer_keyword": {
                            "filter": "lowercase",
                            "tokenizer": "keyword"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "template": "test_*"
    }
}

```

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_template/test-template?pretty -d '

```auto
{
"template": "test_*",
 "settings": {
    "index": { 
      "refresh_interval": "3600s" 
    }
  }
}'

```

On output I get this:

```auto
{
    "test-template": {
        "aliases": {},
        "mappings": {},
        "order": 0,
        "settings": {
            "index": {
                "refresh_interval": "3600s"
            }
        },
        "template": "test_*"
    }
}

```
