Hi,
We can define a dynamic template like:
```
{
"fields_template" : {
"mapping": { "type": "string", "index":
```
"not\_analyzed" },
"path\_match": "@fields.\*",
"path\_unmatch": "@fields.size"
}
}
Is there a way to define multiple path\_unmatch? I've a requirement where I
need to exclude more than one fields from that regex but I also can't give
away with regex in path\_match.
What are my options?

I am not sure I fully understand the reasons why you cannot use regex match
for both path\_match and path\_unmatch. Could you elaborate on this?

Hi Igor,
Sorry for late reply. The reply got missed in filters and I wasn't
notified. My current template looks like: [http://pb.abhijeetr.com/RiUH](http://pb.abhijeetr.com/RiUH) and
indices are created with the name "logstash-date-here".
These are basically logs and text from logs is parsed and corresponding
fields are created. My aim is to not analyse all "@fields.\*" but specify
analyzers for only the fields I want, in the above template (
[http://pb.abhijeetr.com/RiUH](http://pb.abhijeetr.com/RiUH)), "@fields.syslog\_message" (want it whitespace
analyzed) & "@fields.size". (want it to be a long so that I can use
term\_stats facets).
Another issue that's popping up while using this template is,
[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16078561/getting-infinity-and-infinity-in-terms-stats-query](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16078561/getting-infinity-and-infinity-in-terms-stats-query),
I feel like the way I'm specifying @fields.size as long is messy.

Dynamic templates are applied only to fields that are created dynamically.
In other words, if a field is already defined in the mappings (in the
properties sections), it is not affected by dynamic templates in any way.
So, you don't need to list such fields in "path\_unmatch".

Hi Igor,
I observed differently than what you said. Please have a look at this post
[http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Getting-Infinity-and-Infinity-in-terms-stats-query-What-does-it-mean-tp4033518p4033639.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Getting-Infinity-and-Infinity-in-terms-stats-query-What-does-it-mean-tp4033518p4033639.html)
It's another post you replied in.
