I have to put the property "index.max\_docvalue\_fields\_search": "1600"

I've tried with query =\> "index.max\_docvalue\_fields\_search": "1600"

I tried to put index =\> "max\_docvalue\_fields\_search": "1600"

And also my last attempt was with a template but without success.

``  
output {

```
 elasticsearch {
     hosts => ["localhost: 9200"]
     index => "my_index"
     document_type => "doc"
     template => "/etc/logstash/templates/my_template.json"
     }

```

}  
``

Template file:

`PUT my_index { "index.max_docvalue_fields_search": "1600" }`

In the last case I get the error:

`ERROR logstash.outputs.elasticsearch - Failed to install template. {:message=>"Unrecognized token 'PUT': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null')`  
Can anyone help me?

The template should only contain JSON, the file you provided is not valid JSON with that dev tools syntax at the beginning.

I received a return now that the index has been successfully created, but when I check the kibana this set property does not appear, is it really?

This option that I'm setting should appear here, right?
