Hi,

I'm trying to stand up the Elasticsearch template located here [https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/templates/elasticsearch/](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/templates/elasticsearch/).

I would like to hook it up with an already existing virtual network in a particular resource. Is there a way to do this without having to stand up each VM manually? Or could i modify the template to allow an already existing virtual network?

Thanks!
