Hi,

I wonder if I can generate an index template for every beats via ECS generator repo :

> [GitHub - elastic/ecs: Elastic Common Schema](https://github.com/elastic/ecs)

It could be easier to generate one big file, with custom configs (example number of replicas), matching with all beat pattern (filebeat-_,auditbeat-_,...).

Is beats have their own specific template or we can generalize them via ECS format ?

It will be easier to push index template for each beats after an update.

Best regards
