Inputting this in my ELK server:

`curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_template/topbeat' -d@topbeat.template.json`

I get:  
{"error":"Content-Type header [application/x-www-form-urlencoded] is not supported","status":406}

Any ideas why the command is wrong?

Try adding `-H 'Content-Type: application/json'` as another option to your `curl` command.
