Hello everyone, when I create a new Index via Logstash they always go with 1 replica and that turns the Index yellow. So I edit it in Index Management to set replicas to 0 the Index turns green; It might be silly but I still want to know if theres a way to configure so that my Index go into kibana with replica = 0 by default.
Best regards!

Use an index template. There is an example [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-change-number-of-shards-and-number-of-replica-in-elasticseatch-template/167855).
