Beat version in index name

[pjanzen (Paul Janzen)]

Hi All,

I am using ELK 6.8.0 and I want to add the beat version to the indexname I have configured in an Logstash output. I have configured it currently like this

clog-%{[beat][version]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}

But that gives me an index name of

clog-%{[beat][version]}-2019.11.08

How do I access those fields in the document?

Should be something like this :

"%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"

atleast it works for me

Yeah I have tried that to but that doesn't work either..I do not have @metadata fields.

{
                "tags" => [
        [0] "dovecot",
        [1] "MC",
        [2] "beats_input_codec_plain_applied"
    ],
                "host" => "name",
              "source" => "/var/log/dovecot/info.log",
             "message" => "full message",
    "source_affiliate" => "ukmail",
          "prospector" => {
        "type" => "log"
    },
           "beat_used" => "true",
              "offset" => 34120721,
            "@version" => "1",
          "@timestamp" => 2019-11-08T08:26:21.688Z,
                "beat" => {
         "version" => "6.2.4",
        "hostname" => "name",
            "name" => "name.local"
    }
}

Have you tried to Grok Match the Beat Name from the Plain Log? And simply use the fieldname in which you put the Value In the Indexname? I don't really know the format of your logs so i can't just paste random stuff in here.
