Aliases and template don't work together

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

hi, i'm using filebeat for manage my log and index them into elastic passing to ingest node.
i want create an aliases for all log and i have insert this line

"aliases" : {
"log" : { }
}

in my filebeat template.

But when i start filebeat and index is created i don't have the alias setted into my index:

"aliases" : { },

How it's possibile? I wrong something? it's a bug?

I'm using ES 5.0.0 beta1.

What is the index pattern you are using in filebeat/ingest?
Cause your template only applies to indices with a name of filebeat, not filebeat-YYYY.MM.DD which is the standard.
