I use efk(filebeat,fluentd,elasticsearch) to collect my application logs and create new indexes every day. Like `sxc-gateway-2019.10.20, sxc-gateway-2019.10.21, sxc-stocke-service-2019.10.20, sxc-stocke-service-2019.10.21` .I can't make the aliases of different application indexes the same.  
the document indicates that the index's alias and life cycle policy need to be consistent, so How to configure the index template?  
Is it not necessary to create a new index every day, I just need to create an application index sxc-gateway-000001 roll over based on size？
