This is my current output:

```auto
output {

        if [type]=="syslog" {
                elasticsearch {
                hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
                index => "logstash-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
                }
        stdout { codec => rubydebug }
        file { path => "/etc/logstash/logstash-data/%{logstash}.%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" }
        }

        if [type]=="winlogbeat" {
                elasticsearch {
                hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
                index => "winlogbeat-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
                }
        stdout { codec => rubydebug }
        file { path => "/etc/logstash/logstash-data/%{winlogbeat}.%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" }
        }
}

```

However I am creating a `winlogbeat-2022.03.21` index and a `logstash` index. In other words, only the winlogbeat index has the date. Can anyone tell me why or show me how to fix this?

Also this is my current `date` field in my `filter`:

```auto
date {
            match => ["[sslvpn][time]", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" ]
            target => "@timestamp"
    }

```

But unsure what else to add. I understand that winlogbeat might have the built-in `yyyy.MM.dd` format, but SSLVPN/Logstash may need to be filtered/created on its own.

Shouldnt your second "if" needs to be "else if" ?

Not 100% sure but my winlogbeat seems to be working as intended just with the "if".
