Prerequisitesedit

If you use Elasticsearch security features, you must have:

  • read index privileges for any indices used
  • The enrich_user built-in role

Descriptionedit

Use the create enrich policy API to create a enrich policy.

Once created, you can’t update or change an enrich policy. Instead, you can:

  1. Create and execute a new enrich policy.
  2. Replace the previous enrich policy with the new enrich policy in any in-use enrich processors.
  3. Use the delete enrich policy API to delete the previous enrich policy.
