I have around 400 indices. Some time back I enabled full logging by below command.

curl -XPUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' '[http://localhost:9200/\_all/\_settings?preserve\_existing=true](http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings?preserve_existing=true)' -d '{  
"index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.debug" : "0s",  
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.debug" : "0s",  
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.debug" : "0s"  
}'

Now I am done with collecting logs and want to disable this. So i am running command.. Just adding -1 to debug and trace both...

curl -XPUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' '[http://localhost:9200/\_all/\_settings?preserve\_existing=true](http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings?preserve_existing=true)' -d '{  
"index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.debug" : "-1",  
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.debug" : "-1",  
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.debug" : "-1",  
"index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.trace" : "-1",  
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.trace" : "-1",  
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.trace" : "-1"  
}'

But still logs are getting generated.  
from [http://localhost:9200/\_all/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings), I do see still as 0 for few. and few have -1. Not sure why it is not updating all indices...

"index": {  
"search": {  
"slowlog": {  
"threshold": {  
"fetch": {  
"trace": "0s",  
"debug": "0s"  
},  
"query": {  
"trace": "0s",  
"debug": "0s"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"indexing": {  
"slowlog": {  
"threshold": {  
"index": {  
"trace": "0s",  
"debug": "0s"  
}  
}  
}  
},

There is a huge logging happening and want to stop it...Please help on this
