Hi Team,

I am working on rollup indices for the first time and don't have much idea about its capabilities.

I want to rollup my data every month and can have all the visualization/scripts/dashboards in the current indices.

Is there way to automatically create an monthly index like below and also i want at-least last week data in current index at any point of time

I am getting error which executing rollup indice creation  
"index\_pattern": "logstash-\*",  
"rollup\_index": "logstasgh-hourly-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}",

**Error** : Invalid index name [logstasgh-hourly-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}], must be lowercase"
