I have problems with creating an index with filebeat

i want to create an index for every running module

when i add  
setup.template.enabled: false  
setup.template.name: "filebeat-%{[event.module]}"  
setup.template.pattern: "filebeat-%{[agent.version]}-%{[event.module]}\*"  
setup.ilm.enabled: false

Then it creates a new index, but the fields are not searchable. therefore i cant use it for the dashboard
