Hi,

the setup of the index template for the Beats generates a lot of fields (e.g. 1860 for Metricbeat).  
Many fields are designed only for specific modules that I am not planning to use, so I'd like to avoid to load them.  
Is it possible to define a template only with the fields used by the enabled modules?

Thanks
