Hi there,

A few days ago I decided to try the fileBeat, but it was a disaster due to the default option that loads the new templates overwriting the current templates. either way.

The problem is:

1. I have the ES with the template called XYZ ( **%{+yyyy.MM.dd}** ) that always has worked 100%. But, after trying the fileBeat their loaded some internals templates and after that the next days has a kind of mix between the old and fileBeat templates.

2. Question: Have some way to reindex the data e.g: **2017.01.26** with my previous template discarding those fileBeat new fields?

ps: I am using ES 5.5
