Hello.  
I'm using the Logstash 5.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.  
This is my config

output {  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
elasticsearch { }  
}

but index filename is wrong. It is logstash-2006.09.07, but it'd be logstash-2006.04.16.  
Any ideas?  
Thanks.

That depends on the rest of your config, like grok and date filters.

Sorry Mark but I don't understand. I don't use grok or filters.  
Any suggestion is appreciated.  
Thanks.
