Hi all,
since my filebeat doesn't have any access to Elasticsearch I have to follow this procedure [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-template.html#load-template-manually](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-template.html#load-template-manually).
I have the following output:
```
curl -XPUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://localhost:9200/_template/filebeat-6.2.1 -d@/tmp/filebeat.template.json -u admin
Enter host password for user 'admin':
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
```
Is it correct output ? And how do I verify this command did what it was supposed to do ?

I've just had a look at elasticsearch logs and it told me that
```
Someone (/127.0.0.1:35678) speaks http plaintext instead of ssl, will close the channel
```
so I realized I should have used `-k` and `https`. After that I got the answer `acknowledged: true`.

Glad you found the solution yourself and thanks for posting it.

But after I run it and then run from the Kibana console:
```
GET _cat/indices
```
I don't get any filebeat-\* indices.
Why is that ?

Can you share your filebeat log file?

It's already working. I have removed SG and went for the simplest solution. Also forgot to load the default dashboard (?).
