I am trying to dynamically generate the apm indice based on `global_labels` set in the apm agent, what's the best way to do it? I've tried ingest pipeline with script processor, I feel like it's over complicated any simpler way to do it?

The final index looks like `apm-demo-0123456-metrics-2020.04.18`

```auto
    "labels": {
      "app_owner": "0123456",
      "app_family": "demo"
    },

```
