Hi, I have 12 Node Elastic Container running on, but issue is it's having 1 shard for each new data Set I tried to update using below command.

Command  
curl -XPUT "[http://IPAddress](http://IPAddress):PortNumber/\_all/\_settings?" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' {"index.number\_of\_replicas" : "1","index.number\_of\_shards" : "4"}'

but it didn't work. Any help/hint appreciated in advance.

Thank You.  
SM
