I am building a new cluster and have copied out my existing template to use for importing into the new cluster:
> {
> "template": "logstash-_",
> "order": 0,
> "settings": {
> "number\_of\_shards": 4, \<-- ONLY CHANGE
> "number\_of\_replicas": 0, \<-- ONLY CHANGE
> "index": {
> "refresh\_interval": "5s"
> },
> "mappings": {
> "default": {
> "dynamic\_templates": [
> {
> "message\_field": {
> "mapping": {
> "fielddata": {
> "format": "disabled"

> "index": "analyzed",
> "omit\_norms": true,
> "type": "string"

I pulled this directly from an existing, working setup and when I attempt to PUT it, via Kibana, I get this:
> {
> "error": {
> "root\_cause": [
> {
> "type": "remote\_transport\_exception",
> "reason": "[########][x.x.x.x:9300][indices:admin/template/put]"
> }
> ],
> "type": "illegal\_argument\_exception",
> "reason": "unknown setting [index.mappings._default_.\_all.enabled] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings"
> },
> "status": 400
> }
Both clusters are 5.1.2.
Can anyone please tell me why on Earth this isn't working?

Hi Jason,
I ran into the same error and found your post (hoping to find an answer.. 🙂 ). I've since found out that I had made a mistake which I also see in your json. The "mappings" (and I suspect also "aliases") should be moved outside the "settings" object, so that they come after "settings" instead of within.

Daniel,
Thank you. I will give that a try and let you know.
I find it odd that it exports one way but cannot be imported the same way.
