Update Watcher index settings

  • PUT /_watcher/settings
Auth

Update settings for the Watcher internal index (.watches). Only a subset of settings can be modified. This includes index.auto_expand_replicas, index.number_of_replicas, index.routing.allocation.exclude.*, index.routing.allocation.include.* and index.routing.allocation.require.*. Modification of index.routing.allocation.include._tier_preference is an exception and is not allowed as the Watcher shards must always be in the data_content tier.
