By default, {es} is configured to allow automatic index creation, and no
|
|
|
|
|
additional steps are required. However, if you have disabled automatic index
|
|
|
|
|
creation in {es}, you must configure
|
|
|
|
|
<<index-creation,`action.auto_create_index`>> in `elasticsearch.yml` to allow
|
|
|
|
|
{xpack} to create the following indices:

If you are using https://www.elastic.co/products/logstash[Logstash]
|
|
|
|
|
or https://www.elastic.co/products/beats[Beats] then you will most likely
|
|
|
|
|
require additional index names in your `action.auto_create_index` setting, and
|
|
|
|
|
the exact value will depend on your local configuration. If you are unsure of
|
|
|
|
|
the correct value for your environment, you may consider setting the value to
|
|
|
|
|
`*` which will allow automatic creation of all indices.
