Prior to migration to 7.3, daily indexes were auto created. After migration to 7.3, my first week on 7.3 is in a single index. My logstash output file :

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["logstash-2.xxx.xxx:9200"]  
sniffing =\> true  
manage\_template =\> true  
index =\> "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}  
The index name now includes id and is  
logstash-2019.08.19-000001  
From kibana management, the provided name indicates:  
"provided\_name": "\<logstash-{now/d}-000001\>"  
instead of previous 6.8 entries like:  
"provided\_name": "logstash-2019.08.06"

Trying to find where the default settings are to config that other than the logstash output file that I indicated above.

solved it - at least for now with following in my output file:  
ilm\_enabled =\> false

I thought ilm was introduced in 6.6 and would have seen issues then or at 6.8 but this only came up when starting 7.3. Interested if anyone knows of something I would need to have configured differently for the 6.8 to 7.3 migration. Outside of that, I have my answer for now.
