Hi,

I got the config below but filebeat is ignoring the custom name I want to set for the index and instead puts everything into filebeat-\*. I followed the Docs but apparently that information is incorrect.

If have also tried putting the settings under `setup.template.settings` but that doesn't work either.

```
output.elasticsearch:
  # Array of hosts to connect to.
  hosts: ["id.aws.found.io:9243"]
  output.elasticsearch.index: "awsfilebeat-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM}"
  setup.template.name: "awsfilebeat"
  setup.template.pattern: "awsfilebeat-*"

```

Kibana visualization settings are also ignored except for space.id, that one works.

```
setup.kibana:
  host: "localhost:5601"
  setup.dashboards.index: "awsfilebeat-*"
  space.id: "infra"

```

Under template settings the replicas setting is ignored as well.  
`index.number_of_replicas: 0`

What is the correct place to put the settings above? W
