[DOCS] Simple patch to make creating aliases with glob patterns clearer
This PR is a simple doc patch to explicitly mention with an example of how to create an alias using a glob pattern. This comes up from time-to-time with our customers and in the community and although mentioned in the documentation already, is not obvious. Also mention that the alias will not auto-update as indices matching the glob change. Closes #12175 Closes #12176

Alternatively, you can use a glob pattern to associate an alias to
|
||||
more than one index that share a common name:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,js]
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_aliases' -d '
|
||||
{
|
||||
"actions" : [
|
||||
{ "add" : { "index" : "test*", "alias" : "all_test_indices" } }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}'
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In this case, the alias is a point-in-time alias that will group all
|
||||
current indices that match, it will not automatically update as new
|
||||
indices that match this pattern are added/removed.
|
||||
|
||||
It is an error to index to an alias which points to more than one index.
