Settings
We recommend that you don’t change the settings. The default settings should work well for most use cases.
ISM stores its configuration in the .opendistro-ism-config
index. Don’t modify this index without using the ISM API operations.
All settings are available using the Elasticsearch _cluster/settings
operation. None require a restart, and all can be marked persistent
or transient
.
