Hi

Today I tried the following request, which worked great:  
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/logstash-2014.03.24/\_settings' -d '  
{  
"index" : {  
"number\_of\_replicas" : 0  
}  
}'

Now I want to set number of replicas for every indice in 2014 to 0. Can I  
use a wildcard in the url such as the following? :  
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/logstash-2014.\*/\_settings' -d '  
{  
"index" : {  
"number\_of\_replicas" : 0  
}  
}'

Or do I have to make a shell script that will iterate over all the dates?

Thanks for your help

Aldian

You can use wildcards, you can also comma separate them eg - curl -XPUT  
'localhost:9200/logstash-2014.01.01,logstash-2014.01.02/\_settings
