You can use the create index operation to add a new index to an Elasticsearch cluster. When creating an index, you can specify the following:

  • Settings for the index
  • Mappings for fields in the index
  • Index aliases.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
IndexName of the index you wish to create.Index names must meet the following criteria:- Lowercase only
  • Cannot include \, /, *, ?, ”, <, >, |, ’ ’ (space character), , (comma), #
  • Indices prior to 7.0 could contain a colon (:), but that’s been deprecated and won’t be supported in 7.0+
  • Cannot start with -, _, +
  • Cannot be . or ..
  • Cannot be longer than 255 bytes (note it is bytes, so multi-byte characters will count towards the 255 limit faster)
  • Names starting with . are deprecated, except for hidden indices and internal indices managed by plugins. | | Mappings | Mapping for fields in the index. If specified, this mapping can include field names, field data types and mapping parameters. | | Settings | Configuration options for the index. |
