Description

See https://github.com/elastic/docs-content/blob/126dfecc5ce6f3392cfc032541a0506fd2672704/manage-data/data-store/data-streams/set-up-tsds.md

The page suggests that lifecycle.enabled is an index setting, whereas it is actually at the template level.

Current documented query (edited for brevity):

PUT _index_template/my-weather-sensor-index-template
{
  "template": {
    "settings": {
      "lifecycle": { 
        "enabled": true
      }
    }
  }
}

This fails with "reason": "index_template [my-weather-sensor-index-template] invalid, cause [Validation Failed: 1: unknown setting [index.lifecycle.enabled] did you mean [index.lifecycle.name]?;]".

Here's a correct query:

PUT _index_template/my-weather-sensor-index-template
{
  "template": {
    "lifecycle": { 
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}
