Hi,

Is it possible to insert the parameter "ignore\_malformed" on a template by a PUT?

My actual config is:

GET \_template/http-access

```auto
{
  "http-access" : {
    "order" : 0,
    "version" : 60001,
    "index_patterns" : [
      "http-access-*"

...

        "client_ip" : {
          "type" : "ip"
        },
        "corpname" : {
          "type" : "keyword"
        },
        "category" : {
          "type" : "keyword"
        }
      }
    },
    "aliases" : { }
  }
}

```

So i would like to insert: "ignore\_malformed": true on client\_ip:

```auto
"client_ip" : {
 "type" : "ip"
 "ignore_malformed": true

```

Thank you.

That should work - [ignore\_malformed | Elasticsearch Guide [8.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.0/ignore-malformed.html). Does it not?

Hi Mark,

i use ILM system, so there isn't only a index. For this reason i would like to know if it correct to insert the parameter at template level.

Thank you.

Yes, it can be applied in a template.
