Hi guys!

I've made a Filebeat module and I have no problem with it, it's working. My question is about index templates for Elasticsearch, right now I have the next block in `/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml` which is the main configuration file for Filebeat:

```auto
# Filebeat configuration file
filebeat.modules:
  - module: mymodule

setup.template.json.enabled: true
setup.template.json.path: '/etc/filebeat/my-template.json'
setup.template.json.name: 'my-template-name'
setup.template.overwrite: true

output.elasticsearch.hosts: ['http://YOUR_ELASTIC_SERVER_IP:9200']
#output.logstash.hosts: ["YOUR_LOGSTASH_SERVER_IP:5000"]

```

Can I move the `setup.template` block to some file of my module? I've been trying with some files with no result, it only works if I put it in the Filebeat main configuration, please help 😄

```auto
# I want this block in my module and not in the Filebeat config
setup.template.json.enabled: true
setup.template.json.path: '/etc/filebeat/my-template.json'
setup.template.json.name: 'my-template-name'
setup.template.overwrite: true

```

Thanks!

Best regards,  
Jesús
