View the Elasticsearch index templateedit

This documentation refers to the standalone (legacy) method of running APM Server. This method of running APM Server will be deprecated and removed in a future release. Please consider upgrading to the Elastic APM integration. If you’ve already upgraded, please see View the Elasticsearch index template instead.

Index templates are used to configure the backing indices of data streams as they are created. These index templates are composed of multiple component templates—​reusable building blocks that configure index mappings, settings, and aliases.

The default APM index templates can be viewed in Kibana. Navigate to Stack Management > Index Management > Index Templates, and search for apm. Select any of the APM index templates to view their relevant component templates.

It is not currently possible to make changes to index templates that persist through version upgrades.
