Before using {beatname_uc}, you need to load the
http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html[index
template], which lets Elasticsearch know which fields should be analyzed
in which way.

The recommended template file is installed by the {beatname_uc} packages. By default, {beatname_uc}
loads the template automatically when you start the Beat if no template was previously loaded.
However, if you want to disable automatic template loading, or you want to load your own template,
In Elasticsearch, http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html[index
templates] are used to define settings and mappings that determine how fields should be analyzed.

The recommended index template file for {beatname_uc} is installed by the {beatname_uc} packages. By default,
{beatname_uc} loads the template automatically after successfully connecting to Elasticsearch. If the template
already exists, it's not overwritten unless you configure {beatname_uc} to do so.

If you want to disable automatic template loading, or you want to load your own template,
you can change the settings for template loading in the {beatname_uc} configuration file. If you
choose to disable automatic template loading, you need to load the template manually.
