 Each index also provides the capability to easily create index-specific ingest pipelines with customizable processing. If you need that extra flexibility, you can create a custom pipeline by going to your pipeline settings and choosing to "copy and customize". This will replace the index’s use of `search-default-ingestion` with 3 newly generated pipelines:

 This pipeline is empty to start (no processors), but can be added to via the Kibana UI either through the Pipelines tab of your index, or from the **Stack Management > Ingest Pipelines** page. Unlike the `search-default-ingestion` pipeline and the `<index-name>` pipeline, this pipeline is NOT "managed".
