So, i visited this link [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40104821/making-index-max-result-window-setting-persistent](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40104821/making-index-max-result-window-setting-persistent) I want to set `index.max_result_window = 20000;` and `index.refresh_interval = 10s` 3 days ago, i executed by using this command `curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/*/_settings" -d '{ "index" : { "max_result_window" : 20000 } }'` i just realize that max\_result\_window on new index is default again. How do i set `index.max_result_window = 20000;` and `index.refresh_interval = 10s` permanently. My ES version is 5.6.13. The new indes is created by Graylog2. I don't find that in Graylog2, only number of shard and number of replicas is provide by Graylog2. Should i use cron job to execute `curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/*/_settings" -d '{ "index" : { "max_result_window" : 20000 } }'` at 00:00 ? Someone suggest to use template here [https://stackoverflow.com/a/40109721/10444058](https://stackoverflow.com/a/40109721/10444058) But, is there another simple way ? ---

I did yesterday `curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings" -d '{"index":{"max_result_window":"20000"}}'` It works fine. But today, the new index is created. After i check by using `curl -X GET "localhost:9200/20181115/_settings/"`, refresh\_interval is disappear. How do i setting it permanently ? ---
