elasticsearch - Why doesn't the metricbeat index name change each day?
I am using a metricbeat (7.3) docker container along side several other docker containers, and sending the results to an elasticsearch (7.3) instance. This works, and the first time everything spins up I get an index in elasticsearch called metricbeat-7.3.1-2019.09.06-000001
The initial problem is that I have a Graphana dashboard setup to look for an index with today's date, so it seems to ignore one created several days ago altogether. I could try to figure out what's wrong with those Grafana queries, but more generically I need those index names to roll at some point - the index that's there is already up to over 1.3GB, and at some point that will just be too big for the system.
My initial metricbeat.yml config:
Searching around a bit, it seems like the index field on the elasticsearch output should configure the index name, so I tried the following:
That throws an error about needing setup.template settings, so I settled on this:
I don't really know what the setup.template section does, so most of that is a guess from Google searches.
I'm not really sure if the issue is on the metricbeat side, or on the elasticsearch side, or somewhere in-between. But bottom line - how do I get them to roll the index to a new one when the day changes?
