In my Beats, I have settings as follow:
setup.template.name: "metricbeat" setup.template.pattern: "metricbeat-*" setup.ilm.rollover_alias: "metricbeat-%{[agent.version]}-hkhqdev"
Index is created correctly as metricbeat-7.5.2-hkhqdev-2020.02.11-000001
Existing Lifecycle Policy metricbeat-7.5.2 is correctly attached to it.
But it is creating index template for each index metricbeat-7.5.2-hkhqdev-*, while I would expect it would be using the common one, which already exists metricbeat-7.5.2. Why are my setup.template settings ignored.
