Updating mapping through index template

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello all,

If i update/insert the mapping in an existing index template the change is
not reflected on the fly.

So my question is, is ES configured to run this way or should the mapping
changes be updated automatically. Else how can i refresh the mapping??

[root@ES1 ~]# curl PUT 'http://localhost:9200/_template/template_1' -d '
{
"template" : "abc",
"mappings" : {
"log" : { "dynamic" : "strict",
"properties" :
{
"@timestamp" : {"type" : "date", "index" : "analyzed" },
"@version" : { "type" : "integer", "index" : "analyzed"},
"type" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "analyzed" },
"timestamp" : {"type" : "date", "index" : "analyzed", "format" :
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS" },
"loglevel" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "analyzed" },
"host" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "analyzed" },
"message" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "analyzed" },
}
}
}
}'

[root@ES1 ~]# curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/abc/log/_mapping'
{}[root@ES1 ~]# date

Thanks and Regards

I was able to update only once, by deleting the mapping using the ' curl
-XDELETE 'localhost:9200/abc/_all/_mappings' and updating the template to
accept all fields as strings.
Hope to get some help on this soon.

Thanks and Regards
Sri
