When running the configuration

- metricbeat -\> elasticsearch

the index template (metricbeat.template.json) is automatically installed on Elasticsearch by the Metricbeat agent.

However, when running the configuration

- metricbeat -\> logstash -\> elasticsearch

the index template is not automatically installed on Elasticsearch.

What's the best method to automatically installed the correct index template from Logstash?
