Hi,

AFAIK, I have only the Apache module enabled.  
The command `filebeat export template` outputs a very long list of fields I'll never have in the index.  
Filebeat does not have access to Kibana, we use Logstash. But I did some tests and a filebeat's setup command created also a template full of these fields.

Is it possible to get a template for Kibana that includes only fields related to activated modules?

Thanks

Hi @Karel_Cech, welcome to the Elastic community forums!

Unfortunately this is not currently possible. However, we are actively working on some projects to make this better, exactly along the lines that you are thinking.
