Where do I have to place mustache template file for elastic to see it.  
I'm running elasticsearch-6.3.2-1.noarch, install rpm pre-build package with the following env variable values:  
ES\_HOME=/usr/share/elasticsearch  
ES\_PATH\_CONF=/etc/elasticsearch

Tried to put script in /etc/elasticsearch/config/scripts, /etc/elasticsearch/scripts, /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/scripts and /usr/share/elasticsearch/scripts. None of them works.

Any ideas ?

file based scripts are no longer supported since 6.0

Use [stored scripts](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/modules-scripting-using.html#modules-scripting-stored-scripts) instead

Thanks for the answer. Done this through API, the issue with this is when you need to use if-then-else construction in mustache, so you end escaping things in JSON and converting it to single string. But it's probably not a big deal.
