I created a index template from the Kibana UI but i can't configure properly the index inside my logstash pipeline because i can't find the path of the index template.

Take a look at [cat templates API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.3] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-templates.html) to identify which one it might be.

Thank you for you reply and the guide you sended me is helpfull.
Anyway I'm searching in the documentation the right configuration for Logstash to use Index Template but i can't find an example. You know if somewhere i can find something more concrete?
I know that i should but 3/4 configuration in the output of my pipeline but i don't know how to properly do it
Thank you again

If your template was defined in Kibana then it will be in Elasticsearch, you don't need it to be on the filesystem for Logstash. As long as your index name use in Logstash matches the template, it will be applied.

Thank you again
