How do I manually import the Winlogbeat index template when using ILM and Logstash with the following configuration? I have tried every possible setting I can think of in my temporary winlogbeat.yml but can't get it to work.

[EDIT]  
I know of the setup parameter for winlogbeat. I just don't know how to configure my winlogbeat.yml to create a template that support the settings stated below.

ILM Policy Name: winlogbeat\_policy  
ILM Rollover Alias Name: winlogbeat-alias  
Index Pattern: winlogbeat-\*  
Winlogbeat initial index: winlogbeat-000001
