I can find the index within http://host:9200/_cat/indices.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, Id like to investigate a bit more to see if this is a bug. Can you give me a little more information with the code that does the alias creation? Does this index already exist, or are you creating it in the code as well? If you are creating it, then please post as much of that code as well.

If this is an existing index, I would like to know what the values of the strings in the above snippet for the index and alias variables, just to remove anything funky.

Can you show the output of _cat/indices and _aliases as well?
