Hi!
By default when I use the filebeat installation in my kubernetes clusters it automatically creates a 1 shard and 1 replica template for me, is it possible to change that to use 2 shards and 1 replica in filebeat configuration (yaml)?
I wouldn't mind removing the index and creating it again.
If not, how can you do it if I have the template like this and would like to change it?
Thank you very much
