Hello, I just migrated from using Filebeat to using Elastic Agent. I am using the custom logs integration to ingest some custom logs I have been able to get the logs into the generic default logs in Discover and have the logs show the correct tag. The problem I am running into is that it won't create a new index to show those specific logs separately. I have index component and templates set up to have the data stream but I am not able to find or create an index or data view. Can someone please help me figure out how to create a new index specifically for these tagged files? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. ---

Not sure how but I managed to get it working 🤷‍♀️ I created a new data view and it was located under logs-generic-name of index now ---
