I have upgraded from 6.0.0 to 6.7.2. We initially experienced a problem where the type field was pushing 2 types out which we resolved by adding a new template in Elasticsearch.

I have checked the logstash logs where I am still seeing:

`Attempting to install template {:manage_template=>{"template"=>"logstash-*", "version"=>60001`  
How do I tell Logstash to use the new template name I created in ElasticSearch which is logstash\_1

I have resolved most of this by adding manage\_template =\> false in the output of logstash. I now have one output I can’t figure out which template is in elasticsearch for this index.

Is there a way to search the index to find the template
