We have different indexes for different log types and one index of each type is generated every day. What I'm looking for is some convenient to use user interface to see things like "How many shards are allocated for particular index" (a ton of tools can show me that) and then I want to create (or adjust) template for that index type to allocate different number of shards. Another example - I want to see how all the types are mapped and again adjust that for future indices. So far all the tools I could find only show something, but are not suitable for changing the template. Besides GUI we probably need some command line tooling too, in order to preserve the settings and be able to configure new cluster from scratch. The complication is that we run everything on Windows. Any tooling advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you! Konstantin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

There isn't a GUI tool for editing templates that I have found, though I imagine if you added a feature request to kopf/elastichq/etc you might get it filled. And it's hard to go past curl for the CLI or even [GitHub - elastic/es2unix: Command-line ES](https://github.com/elasticsearch/es2unix) for \*nix, but Windows is another world in that regards.
