Consult on approach

[viditx (Vidit Hilton)]

I am new to elastic and couldn't figure out how to use it.
My requirement was to create a different index every day.
For example:
I run a certain job every day which create an index with name ABC
I want to classify it into days, so I have two approaches

1. to append date in index name, i.e ABC_01_01_2020, ABC_02_01_2020
2. To use the current date as a nested type field.
   i.e ABC {
   01_01_2020{
   }
   02_01_2020{
   }
   }
   Which would be a better approach?
