Descriptionedit
This API allows a user to modify the settings for the Security internal indices
(.security
and associated indices). Only a subset of settings are allowed to
be modified. This includes:
-
index.auto_expand_replicas
-
index.number_of_replicas
Examplesedit
An example of modifying the Security settings:
PUT /_security/settings { "security": { "index.auto_expand_replicas": "0-all" }, "security-tokens": { "index.auto_expand_replicas": "0-all" }, "security-profile": { "index.auto_expand_replicas": "0-all" } }
The configured settings can be retrieved using the Get Security index settings API. If a given index is not in use on the system, but settings are provided for it, the request will be rejected - this API does not yet support configuring the settings for these indices before they are in use.
