    "DestructiveRequiresName": Boolean,
    "AuditLog": Boolean,
    "OtherConfigs": Map
  }

YMLConfig properties

Property Type Required Editable Description Constraint
CreateIndex String No No Specifies whether to automatically create an index if a new document is uploaded to the Elasticsearch cluster but no index exists.

The corresponding field in the YAML file is action.auto_create_index.

Valid values:
  • true: The system is allowed to automatically create indexes.
  • false: The system is not allowed to automatically create indexes. This is the default value.
Watcher Boolean No No Specifies whether to enable Watcher. The corresponding field in the YAML file is xpack.watcher.enabled.

Valid values:

  • true: Watcher is enabled. If you enable Watcher, you can use the X-Pack Watcher feature. You must clear the .watcher-history* index on a regular basis to free up disk space.
  • false: Watcher is disabled. This is the default value.
DestructiveRequiresName Boolean No No Specifies whether you need to specify the index name when you delete an index. The corresponding field in the YAML file is action.destructive_requires_name.
Valid values:
  • true: You need to specify the index name when you delete an index. This is the default value.
  • false: You do not need to specify the index name when you delete an index.
If you set this parameter to false, you can use wildcards to delete multiple indexes at a time. Deleted indexes cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when you set this parameter.
AuditLog Boolean No No Specifies whether to enable audit log indexing. Valid values:
  • true: Audit log indexing is enabled. If you enable audit log indexing, the system generates audit logs for the create, delete, modify, and search operations that are performed in the Elasticsearch cluster. These logs consume disk space and affect cluster performance. Therefore, we recommend that you disable audit log indexing and exercise caution when you set this parameter.

    For more information, see Configure the Audit Log Indexing feature.

  • false: Audit log indexing is disabled. This is the default value.
Note This parameter is unavailable in Elasticsearch clusters of V7.0 or later.

    • thread_pool.search.queue_size
  • Configure a custom SQL plug-in
    • xpack.sql.enabled: By default, Elasticsearch clusters use the built-in SQL plug-in provided by X-Pack. If you want to upload a custom SQL plug-in to your Elasticsearch cluster, set the xpack.sql.enabled field to false.
