I tried this https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master//change-index-name.html#change-index-name and https://discuss.elastic.co/t/index-management-change-index-name-in-filebeat/202876
with filebeat-7.9.3 and kibana-7.9.2 in windows environment .However in Kibana it doesn't create the indexname that I mentioned in filebeat.yml
# ============================== Filebeat inputs ===============================
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
- C:\FREESOFT\myfilebeatlogs\*
# ============================== Filebeat modules ==============================
filebeat.config.modules:
# Glob pattern for configuration loading
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
# Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: false
# ======================= Elasticsearch template setting =======================
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
#index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
# ================================== Outputs ===================================
# Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.
# ---------------------------- Elasticsearch Output ----------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
# Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
index: "customindexname-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
Also I tried with
index: "myindexname-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
setup.template.enabled: false
setup.template.name: "myindexname"
setup.template.pattern: "myindexname-*"
Kindly help me with this ,I want to create a custom index and insert data to it from Filebeat. The past questions in stack didn't solve my problm.
Below config works for me and create a index name which I want
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
paths:
- "/var/log/*.log"
setup.ilm.enabled: false
setup.template.overwrite: true
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["<my-es-host>"]
index: "foo-%{+yyyy.MM}"
username: '${ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME:elastic}'
password: '${ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD:elastic}'
setup.template:
name: 'foo'
pattern: 'foo-*'
enabled: false
