Failed loading the Index Template in Elasticsearch - elastic-stack

Question

I am trying to install ELK for logs centralization. I am following steps described in digital ocean website: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04
I fail to download the filebeat index template using curl from this link:

Can someone give me another source to get it ?

Answer 1

Here is the content of that link:
{
"mappings": {
"_default_": {
"_all": {
"enabled": true,
"norms": {
"enabled": false
}
},
"dynamic_templates": [
{
"template1": {
"mapping": {
"doc_values": true,
"ignore_above": 1024,
"index": "not_analyzed",
"type": "{dynamic_type}"
},
"match": "*"
}
}
],
"properties": {
"#timestamp": {
"type": "date"
},
"message": {
"type": "string",
"index": "analyzed"
},
"offset": {
"type": "long",
"doc_values": "true"
},
"geoip" : {
"type" : "object",
"dynamic": true,
"properties" : {
"location" : { "type" : "geo_point" }
}
}
}
}
},
"settings": {
"index.refresh_interval": "5s"
},
"template": "filebeat-*"
}
Just make a file called filebeat-index-template.json with this command:
touch filebeat-index-template.json
Then open the file in an editor like this:
nano filebeat-index-template.json
Then copy and paste the contents from the link above and save the file (ctrl + x).
After that you should be able to continue through the digital ocean walkthrough at the "load the template" part.
