Template not being created in ElasticSearch

[bogdan-matei]

Description

We pass our configuration to fluentd via the extraConfigMaps property (system.conf, containers.input.conf, output.conf, custom_template.json). Since the custom_template.json was not getting loaded in ElasticSearch, we also tried to pass the template via the the template property but to no avail.
Our ElasticSearch has authorization & authentication enabled and we have a user which credentials we pass via secrets.

Expectation

I would expect that the the template would be created at least when it's used from the template property. Personally I think it would be better have the option of passing it through the extraConfigMaps as it allows you to define multiple templates.

** What we did **

Since loading the template from exraConfigMaps didn't work, we added a job that loads the template via curl. Please let em know if this is the approach that it's expected to be taken in the situation of creating multiple templates.
