Get the current one using the [index template API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/indices-templates.html) and update it. You can the push it back into the cluster using the same API. If you are using the default Logstash template, you can just upload the [standard 6.0 template](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/blob/master/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-template-es6x.json) and overwrite the existing one.
