Legacy index templates

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

Environment:

  • Elasticsearch 7.12.1 (Basic License)
  • Kibana 7.12.1 (Basic License)
  • Filebeat 7.12.1 (Basic License)
  • Ubuntu 21.04

I have an index template named myapp the index pattern myapp-*.

This index template created by Filebeat.
(The field mapping is dynamically evolving (as our software too) so I very often delete the myapp template and the related indexes / stuffs from ELK, that's why I create index mapping through Filebeat)

Filebeat relevant part of config:

setup.dashboards:
  index: "myapp-*"

setup.template:
  name: "myapp"
  pattern: "myapp-*"
  overwrite: true
  append_fields:
    - name: "timestamp"
      type: "date_nanos"
    - name: "mytimestamp"
      type: "date_nanos"

setup.template.settings:
  index.number_of_shards: 1

Why "myapp" index template appears in "Legacy index templates" list (Stack Managament/Data/Index Managament/Index Templates) instead in "normal" templates list?

What's wrong with that method, how can I improve it?
