Is there a way to disable replica shard via configuration?

[2xmax]

Hi,

When I create a simple configuration with one node I have 1 unassigned ".kibana" replica shard, it affects my ES cluster health. As I know, replica shard cannot be located in primary shard node so I have no other way apart from to delete it. So, in this case I would to specify explicitly in kibana.yml whether I need replica shard or not.

I found this value hardcoded

Does it makes sense? Was this setting has been hardcoded by design?

That value is set on index creations, however replica shards can be configured via elasticsearch. See here for changing replica counts: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/replica-shards.html

Thx. Yes, of course I can make PUT request with template in initialization script.

Do you think it would be better if you locate it as config such way instead of current hardcoded approach: https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/blob/master/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-template.json

You'd probably be better off asking that question in the logstash channel on freenode

it seems you I did not explain it well. I mean, that would be great have have index template file (e.g. elatiscsearch-template.js) somewhere outside of.create_kibana_index.js.
