I've already setup a template for apache-\*, is it possible to have an index created for a field value that comes in from one of the filebeats clients? example: Apache QA servers insert the following field: fields: app\_id: apache\_qa Apache Prod servers insert the following field: fields: app\_id: apache\_prod I would like to index qa data to: apache-qa-%{+YYYY.MM.dd} I would like to index prod data to: apache-prod-%{+YYYY.MM.dd} Is this possible, or a better way to setting the index routing? We will have multiple environments, and applications sending to the cluster. ---

I was able to get it working, after posting: index =\> "%{[fields][app\_id]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" ---
