I am trying to use Aliases concept in my sample and when I try to query the alias, it throws error:

{  
"error": "Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/log] and method [POST], allowed: [DELETE, HEAD, GET, PUT]",  
"status": 405  
}

```
         PUT {
	       "template": "log_*",
	       "aliases": {
		"log":{}
	}
	"settings": {
		"index": {
			"number_of_shards": 5,
			"number_of_replicas": 1
		}
	}
	"mappings": {
		"log_event": {
		
			"properties": {
				"log_name": {
					"type": "string"
				},
				"log_text": {
					"type": "string"
				},
				"log_data": {
					"type": "date"
				}
				
			}
		}
	
	}

}

       POST /log_03012018/_doc/1
      { "log_name": "March 1st 2018",
          "log_text": "this is my first doc",
           "log_data": "2018-10-10"
      }
        POST /log_03022018/_doc/1
           { "log_name": "March 2nd 2018",
               "log_text": "this is my sec doc",
               "log_data": "2019-10-10"
         }
        POST /log_03032018/_doc/1
          { "log_name": "March 3rd 2018",
              "log_text": "this is my sec doc",
              "log_data": "2019-10-10"
       }

     GET log
    {
             "query":
            { "match_all": {} }

      }
```

Hi  
Did you look at the breaking changes in 6.0 related to REST changes? You can find more info here:
