Hello, I'm trying to use ingest pipeline to get different index output.
Here's my case: I have fluentd to hit input on Elasticsearch, fluentd make index input on Elasticsearch named as "app-write", I want to filter from the current source input.
here is glimpse of my index if I dont use any filter:
```auto
"_source": {
"kubernetes": {
"container_name": "iris-uat"
} }
```
I want to get different index output based on value from [kubernetes][container\_name]. there is only two value on the current field, it is "iris-uat" and "iris".
Is there any way to get index output as "app-write-iris" and "app-write-iris-uat"?
Keep in mind that I didn't use logstash to filter the index because I'm having much trouble with it (such as overload input or else)
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

You could do something like this - [Ingest pipelines | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.15/ingest.html#conditionally-apply-pipelines)

I've seen the documentation, but I'm sorry I don't really understand how it will be implemented on my case
```auto
"processors": [
{
"pipeline": {
"description": "If 'service.name' is 'apache_httpd', use 'httpd_pipeline'",
"if": "ctx.service?.name == 'apache_httpd'",
"name": "httpd_pipeline"
}
}
```
according to the example, can I just change the "name" to index name that I want?

The `name` is the pipeline you want to use. So you'd need 3 pipelines;
1. The first one which figures out the `container_name` value
2. A pipeline for `iris` that sends to it's own index
3. A pipeline for `iris-uat` that sends to it's own index

from your explanation, I guess this is what I should do
1. Make pipeline named 'iris-rule' that have conditional to get container name
(if container name 'iris' go to 'iris' pipeline, and do so for 'iris-uat')
2. Make pipeline named 'iris' to just ingest input to 'iris' index
3. Make pipeline named 'iris-uat to just ingest input to 'iris-uat' index
cmiiw, sorry for bothering because I haven't try to make any pipeline before

I've created test pipeline based on your instructions, and It works perfectly, but I tried on reroute api, so I rerouted an index to a new index.
so for my case, should I state the pipeline rule's name on my index template to apply the pipeline automatically on document input?
Thanks in advance

Ideally, yes.
