Hi,

Somehow my indexes are created each day at around 17pm. Indexes are being rolled over every day.

What is happening is, for example, at 17pm of 11/03 the `index-name-2022-03-11-00001` is created. Then, at 17pm of 12/03, the `index-name-2022-03-12-00002` is created.

What i am trying to achieve is to rollover everyday at midnight in order to match the index name with the current day. What is the best day to do that?
