Index templates let you initialize new indices with predefined mappings and settings. For example, if you continuously index log data, you can define an index template so that all of these indices have the same number of shards and replicas.

Because `template-02` has a higher `priority` value, it takes precedence over `template-01` . The `logs-2020-01-02` index would have the `number_of_shards` value as 3.

## Composable index templates
|
||||
|
||||
Managing multiple index templates has the following challenges:
|
||||
|
||||
- If you have duplication between index templates, storing these index templates results in a bigger cluster state.
|
||||
- If you want to make a change across all your index templates, you have to manually make the change for each template.
|
||||
- If an index matches multiple templates, Opensearch might merge the templates in an unexpected way that you discover only after an index is created.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use composable index templates to overcome these challenges. Composable index templates let you abstract common settings, mappings, and aliases into a reusable building block called a component template.
|
||||
|
||||
You can combine component templates to compose an index template.
|
||||
|
||||
Settings and mappings that you specify directly in the [create index]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/rest-api/create-index/) request overrides any settings or mappings specified in an index template and its component templates.

||||
|
||||
### Create a component template
|
||||
|
||||
Let's define two component templates—`component_template_1` and `component_template_2`:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Component template 1
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
PUT _component_template/component_template_1
|
||||
{
|
||||
"template": {
|
||||
"mappings": {
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"@timestamp": {
|
||||
"type": "date"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Component template 2
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
PUT _component_template/component_template_2
|
||||
{
|
||||
"template": {
|
||||
"mappings": {
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"ip_address": {
|
||||
"type": "ip"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Use component templates to create an index template
|
||||
|
||||
When creating index templates, you need to include the component templates in a `composed_of` list.
|
||||
|
||||
Opensearch applies the component templates in the order in which you specify them within the index template. The setting, mappings, and aliases that you specify inside the index template are applied last.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
PUT _index_template/daily_logs
|
||||
{
|
||||
"index_patterns": [
|
||||
"logs-2020-01-*"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"template": {
|
||||
"aliases": {
|
||||
"my_logs": {}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"settings": {
|
||||
"number_of_shards": 2,
|
||||
"number_of_replicas": 1
|
||||
},
|
||||
"mappings": {
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"timestamp": {
|
||||
"type": "date",
|
||||
"format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss||yyyy-MM-dd||epoch_millis"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"value": {
|
||||
"type": "double"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"priority": 200,
|
||||
"composed_of": [
|
||||
"component_template_1",
|
||||
"component_template_2"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"version": 3,
|
||||
"_meta": {
|
||||
"description": "using component templates"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you create an index named `logs-2020-01-01`, you can see that it derives it’s the mappings and settings from both the component templates:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
PUT logs-2020-01-01
|
||||
GET logs-2020-01-01
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||

|

}

### Simulate multi-component templates
|
||||
|
||||
For index templates composed of multiple component templates, you can simulate applying a new template to verify whether the settings are applied as you expect.
|
||||
|
||||
To simulate the settings that would be applied to a specific index name:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
POST _index_template/_simulate_index/<index_name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To simulate the settings that would be applied from an existing template:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
POST _index_template/_simulate/<index_template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can also specify a template definition in the simulate request:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
POST _index_template/_simulate
|
||||
{
|
||||
"index_patterns": [
|
||||
"logs-2020-01-*"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"template": {
|
||||
"settings" : {
|
||||
"index.number_of_shards" : 3
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"composed_of": ["component_template_1", "component_template_2"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `_simulate` API returns the final settings, mappings, and aliases that will be applied to indices that match the index pattern. You can also see any overlapping templates whose configuration is superseded by the simulated template body or higher-priority templates:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"template" : {
|
||||
"settings" : {
|
||||
"index" : {
|
||||
"number_of_shards" : "3"
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"mappings" : {
|
||||
"properties" : {
|
||||
"@timestamp" : {
|
||||
"type" : "date"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"ip_address" : {
|
||||
"type" : "ip"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"aliases" : { }
|
||||
},
|
||||
"overlapping" : [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name" : "daily_logs",
|
||||
"index_patterns" : [
|
||||
"logs-2020-01-*"
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Index template options
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify the following template options:
|
||||
|
||||
Option | Type | Description | Required
|
||||
:--- | :--- | :--- | :---
|
||||
`priority` | `Number` | The priority of the index template. | No
|
||||
`create` | `Boolean` | Whether this index template should replace an existing one. | No
|
||||
`template` | `Object` | Specify index settings, mappings, and aliases. | No
|
||||
`priority` | `Integer` | The priority of the index template. | No
|
||||
`composed_of` | `String array` | The names of components templates applied on a new index together with the current template. | No
|
||||
`version` | `Integer` | Specify a version number to simplify template management. Defaults is `null`. | No
|
||||
`_meta ` | `Object` | Specify meta information about the template. | No
|
||||
