Hello, I have been reading on elasticsearch analyzer and testing via postman.  
Now my elasticsearch runs in docker with docker-compose.

**Where should I specify the analyzer settings/configurations?**

Thank you

You need to call the rest create index api.

@dadoonet  
So it happens at the time of creating the index?  
Could we do it after the index have been created

Thanks
