Hello community
I notice that ES 5 does not allow to configure the number of replicas from its configuration file anymore, so before I enable filebeat/metricbeat clients, which would be the procedure? Created the indices manually( filebeat and metricbeat ) , edit the replica configuration and then enable it?
Im using a one node configuration so Im not interested in having replicas configured my aim is to reduce the disk space usage.
Thanks
Regardss

Use an [index template](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/indices-templates.html) to specify this.
