HI!

I want some logging for my service data.

my log has like this(jus example):  
user-sigin , user-signup, user-actions..

So,

I structured it as follows.

index:  
servicename-user-singin-2017-11-21-signin,  
servicename-user-singin-2017-11-21-signup,  
servicename-user-singin-2017-11-21-useractions

and Thats indexing datas has diffrent types

I wondered what better practice was(data categorization).

Anyone Helps?

thanks.
