I use space in ELK to put different indexes in different space：

my indexes are created on a monthly basis, part of my logstash is configured as shown below:

Currently I create indexes manually, is it possible to create indexes automatically for different spaces every month? If so, how should I do it? If not, is there an interface that I can write a script to do so?

Indexes are created at the cluster and are not tied to any Kibana Space. Index patterns are a Kibana entity that is tied to a Space. You are using a very old version of the stack without [API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.4/api.html) to create index patterns. If you upgrade at least to 7.17 then you will be able to create index patterns programmatically on any space.
