Hi,
I've have filebeat setup to ship logs to elasticsearch and the logs are then parsed by a ingest pipeline. Now in filebeat i have a index pattern defined like this:
```auto
output.elasticsearch:
hosts:
- localhost:9200
index: filebeat-%{[beat.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}
```
If you then send logs which were generated yesterday they will be written to the today index. is there any way to fix this problem without adding logstash in between?
