I can't really read the screenshots on my screen. Can you copy'n paste the text? Use the `` button to format log output and text. Have you also had a look at filebeat/logstash logs? The template is not the index. An installed template is matched and applied to new indices being generated. Are you sending events via logstash or directly to Elasticsearch? If you're using logstash, what's you filebeat and logstash configuration? ---
