Compatibility Guide

Server-Side Configuration Recommendations

Enable automatic index creation to allow Filebeat or Logstash to automatically create indexes when writing data to the Lindorm search engine. Also, configure index templates so newly created indexes inherit consistent settings, such as mapping definitions and shard counts.

Run the following request using the OpenSearch Dashboards development console or a curl command:

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "action.auto_create_index": "true"
  }
}

After configuration, run this request to confirm the setting is active:

GET _cluster/settings

If the value of persistent.action.auto_create_index in the response is "true", the configuration succeeded.

Client Configuration Recommendations

Disable automatic template creation and index lifecycle management (ILM) in your Filebeat or Logstash task configuration.

Filebeat configuration example:

setup.template.enabled: false
setup.ilm.enabled: false

Logstash configuration example:

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["http://<Lindorm search engine endpoint>"]
    ...
    manage_template => false
    ilm_enabled => false
  }
}
