 Description   

So I have been testing Zabbix with Elasticsearch for quite some time now.
Some of the problems I encountered and resolved with zabbix - es configuration.
I think this should be properly reflected on the configuration to help others set up this properly.
I am attaching the list of commands to be executed on Kibana's Dev Tools console, this will work perfectly with Zabbix version 4 (beta1,beta2) and ES 6.x.

It is important to mention that:

{{"number_of_shards": "5",
"number_of_replicas": "1"}}

Means:

Replica set to 1 = two data nodes

If the user is running with 1 elastic data node (for testing for instance) the replica should be set to ZERO (0) – 2 data nodes = 1 and so on.

If this is not set correctly his cluster will be Yellow.
