I'm using filebeat:
```
filebeat.prospectors:
- type: log
enabled: true
json.keys_under_root: true
json.overwrite_keys: true
paths:
- /etc/logs/*.txt
filebeat.config.modules:
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
name: "azure2elasticstack"
setup.template:
name: "filebeat-rr-stats"
pattern: "filebeat-rr-stats-*"
settings:
index:
number_of_shards: 1
number_of_replicas: 0
logging.level: info
output.elasticsearch:
bulk_max_size: 1000
index: "filebeat-rr-stats-%{[beat.version]}-%{+yyyy.ww}"
```
However, my indexes are created with 1 shard and 1 replica per index, not 0 as indicated. Doing a GET /\_template shows that number\_of\_replicas is 0 there.
Why is this/how can I fix, please? I don't want replicas.
