Updating Elasticsearch Templates to Work with Elasticsearch 5.x
To update your existing Elasticsearch templates, perform the following steps:
Retrieve the template.
The following example appends
index*
to get all indexes for the provided sensor:export ELASTICSEARCH="node1" export SENSOR="bro" curl -XGET "http://${ELASTICSEARCH}:9200/_template/${SENSOR}_index*?pretty=true" -o "${SENSOR}.template"
Remove an extraneous JSON field so you can put it back later, and add the alert field:
sed -i '' '2d;$d' ./${SENSOR}.template sed -i '' '/"properties" : {/ a\ "alert": { "type": "nested"},' ${SENSOR}.template
Verify your changes:
python -m json.tool bro.template
Add the template back into Elasticsearch:
curl -XPUT "http://${ELASTICSEARCH}:9200/_template/${SENSOR}_index" -d @${SENSOR}.template
