Hi All, I'm new here and i have query creating data\_streams for container logs

we have a common ELK without logstash for all - dev, stg,tst & prd and when we send logs from container to elasticsearch the dataset is prefixed with "log-" and matches always with managed index template ("logs-kubernetes.container" or "logs" index\_template) & index\_pattern "logs-\*"

Reaching out to you to understand how to handle in this scenario's where i can create data\_streams for each individual environment with custom ILM policy to be applied
