Description

@a03nikki

Summary:

It is not easy to discover the index template for ECS from the documentation.

Motivation:

After going through the work of matching log fields to the ECS fields for a "custom" data sources, the next step is to load an index template into Elasticsearch. In order to avoid mapping conflicts in Kibana's index patterns, Elasticsearch searches, and unexpected errors in the curated Kibana UIs, the same mappings as other ECS content needs to be used.

Detailed Design:

Add a link from the documentation to the generated index template at https://github.com/elastic/ecs/blob/master/generated/elasticsearch/7/template.json. The only reference to template is at Elastic Common Schema (ECS) Reference [1.6] » Using ECS » Conventions.
