Hello Experts,

Expecting replies from you 🙂

I have created a Logstash Config file, which takes Elasticsearch Index ( filebeat-7.16.3-2022.09.16-000020) as Input.

Now that index is full and new index is created automatically and data stopped flowing as new data is in new Index ( filebeat-7.16.3-2022.09.23-000021)

so , I used " filebeat-\* " index (Index Pattern) , but it didn't worked.

Is there any additional setting to use Index Pattern / Wildcard as Index in Logstash Input ?

Working Code:

```auto

input {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["----"]
        ca_file => "----"
        user => "----"
        password => "----"
        ssl => true		
        index => "filebeat-7.16.3-2022.09.16-000020"
        docinfo => true
        scroll => "5m"
        schedule => "59 23 * * *" #Run every day at 23:59
        query => '{ "query": { "match": { "host.hostname" : "abcde1234" } }}'
    }
}

```

Need as below:

```auto

input {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["----"]
        ca_file => "----"
        user => "----"
        password => "----"
        ssl => true		
        index => "filebeat-*"
        docinfo => true
        scroll => "5m"
        schedule => "59 23 * * *" #Run every day at 23:39
        query => '{ "query": { "match": { "host.hostname" : "abcde1234" } }}'
    }
}

```
