AWS ES Index Template Not Being Updated

Index Management
#1

Hello, I’m using AWS ES Service. I’m trying to create an index template but when I try to get my template details it returns empty. I’ve shared the code snippets i’m using. I couldn’t figure out why get request doesn’t return setting, alias and other details… Maybe I’m creating template in wrong way?

PUT _template/cwl
{
  "index_patterns": [
    "cwl-*"
  ],
  "template": {
    "aliases": {
      "cwl": {}
    },
    "settings": {
      "number_of_shards": 1,
      "number_of_replicas": 3,
      "opendistro.index_state_management.policy_id": "hot_to_delete_workflow"
    }
  }
}

GET _template/cwl
{
  "cwl" : {
    "order" : 0,
    "index_patterns" : [
      "cwl-*"
    ],
    "settings" : { },
    "mappings" : { },
    "aliases" : { }
  }
}

Hey @oerdem, not something I’ve seen before. Feel free to cut a support case on the managed service and you should be able to get some help.

@tony thank you so much, it’s really worked.

ODFE Create Template page provides some snippets/examples and I’ve been following it. It might be outdated though, i don’t know for sure.

Hey @oerdem,

This seems to be related to the documentation difference between ODFE and the Amazon Elasticsearch Service… on the ODFE docs we show the latest examples using the new template APIs, but on the managed service we still only support the older _template API We will try to update the documentation to reduce confusion, thanks!
