Hi,

I am trying to implement index lifecycle management from Kibana UI. Note that I have already implemented X-Pack Security for Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana, but not for beats. Now I am facing weird problem. Below is my beats template in the ES cluster.

{  
"filebeat" : {  
"order" : 0,  
"index\_patterns" : [  
"filebeat-\*"  
],  
"settings" : {  
"index" : {  
"lifecycle" : {  
"name" : "Test",  
"rollover\_alias" : "filebeat01"  
},  
"refresh\_interval" : "60s",  
"number\_of\_shards" : "3",  
"number\_of\_replicas" : "1"  
}  
},  
"mappings" : { },  
"aliases" : { }  
}  
}

Currently delete phase is working properly from the ILM but whenever I active the hot phase rollover it doesn't work. I have manually created one index with `is_write_index` set true. Then started sending data from filebeat to logstash.

I had to assign the rollover alias filebeat01 manually to each indices otherwise they show error that `rollover alias filebeat01 does not point to index `filebeat-2019-50`. But if I mention the alias in the template it shows another error that alias is duplicate.

Please help to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.
