You can resolved this issue by using below in filbeat.yml fileoutput.Elasticsearch:  
output.Elasticsearch:  
indices:

- index: "filebeat-namespacename-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"  
when.equals:  
kubernetes.namespace: "dev"

Once u do this restart filbeat then next create index pattern this should be listed when u created an index pattern.
