Hi all,

Currently, I,m trying to change the index name in a way that every server I connect is a prefix of the index. For example: currently, I just have auditbeat-7.6.1-2020.03.27-000001 as index name, but I want to have serverA-auditbeat-7.6.1-2020.03.27-000001  
How do I do this? and can I still have ILM enabled while doing so?  
Thanks a lot in advance 🙂
