Generate automatic index names like "%{[container.name]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" with ILM enabled

[sholokhov17 (Alexander Sholokhov)]

Hello, our worked config of filebeat.yml:

#===== Filebeat Inputs ======
filebeat.inputs:
- type: docker
  combine_partial: true
  containers:
    path: "/var/lib/docker/containers"
    ids :
      - "*"

#===== Filebeat modules =====
filebeat.config.modules:
    path: "${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml"
    reload.enabled: false

#===== Elasticsearch template setting, we do not create any special template for new containers =====
setup.template:
  name: '%{[container.name]}'
  pattern: '%{[container.name]}-*'
  enabled: false

setup.ilm.enabled: false

#===== Elastic Cloud ======
cloud.id  : "ID"
cloud.auth: "AUTH"

#===== Outputs, any new container adds automatic =====
output.elasticsearch.index: "%{[container.name]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"

#==== Processors =====
processors:
    - add_fields:
        target: ''
        fields:
          servertype: "some-servertype"
          domain: "some-domain"
    - add_host_metadata  : ~
    - add_cloud_metadata : ~
    - add_docker_metadata: ~
    - decode_json_fields:
        fields: ['message']
        target: json
        max_depth: 4

When we enable ILM, filebeat can not generate automatic index names "%{[container.name]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}" ..
How fix this with ILM enabled? Thank for any recommendation..

When ILM creates the first index, it does so with a timestamp. The timestamp in the index name will not change as it's the date that the policy was first used, not the date that the index was rolled.

If index names will be like

"%{[container.name]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}-\\d+" 

this does not problem.
Could you give sample of config please?

Если задействовать ILM (setup.ilm.enabled: true), то параметры setup.template.name и setup.template.pattern игнорируются.
На мой взгляд ILM отлично задействовать для существующих индексов (ротация, слияние, замозозка, удаление...). Новый индекс приходится создавать через API создания индексов, естественно с учётом подстановок

I don't understand your question sorry.
