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:
[source,yaml]
-----------------------------------------------------------
action.auto_create_index: .security,.monitoring*,.watches,.triggered_watches,.watcher-history*,.ml*
-----------------------------------------------------------
[IMPORTANT]
=============================================================================
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.
