Hello, we are currently working on a monitoring application which utilizes `Elasticsearch` for data storage, we are working with `Elasticsearch 7.17.0` and currently using `RestHighLevelClient` to interact with it from our application, we also have a service that returns the names of the fields for a certain index, but noticed that for indices sharing the same `index_template` it will return all the fields in the template.  
We also have a `Metricbeat 7.17.0` instance running and that saves each `metricset` in a separate index using the name of the `metricset` but they all fall under the same template which we setup using `metricbeat`.  
So the point is when we request fields for a certain `metricbeat` index it returns all the fields in the template (even fields for modules that are not Enabled) and this has a huge performance issue on the application, so i wanted to ask if there is way to tell `metricbeat` to setup for each `metricset` or if not possible for each `module` it's own template ?

And if is undoable with `metricbeat` directly is there another way via `Elasticsearch` or programmatically via the `RestHighLevelClient` API ?

And Thank You .
