Heartbeat 7.2.0 Error: unknown flag: --index-management

Trying to upgrade to ELK 7.2.0. and have some ansible that gets beats up and running.

Ran into an issue with Heartbeat 7.2.0 where the new --index-management flag is unknown and the --template flag still works despite the documentation saying it's deprecated. (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/7.2/command-line-options.html#setup-command)

The old flags are in the usage displayed by help also.

Anyone else seeing this issue?
