Re: Missing Elasticsearch forwarder config file

Hi David,

By default the org.opennms.plugin.elasticsearch.rest.forwarder.cfg file
doesn't exist. You have to create it using the template given in the
OpenNMS admin documentation. There are settings in the file which will
reduce the number of index fields created but we err on the side of
creating more rather than less indexes because of the variety of
possible use cases for the varbinds.

It's currently running with the default configuration and I'm seeing tons of irrelevant fields in the index.  Looks like there are discrete fields for every received varbind.
