Hi Guys, Can someone please help me on creating new Index name isntead of logstash-\* or filebeat-\* Something like hashes-\*. I think I need to create my new mapping and then post it on elasticsearch? The thing happening here is since I already have logstash-\* indices running creating new index name by creating fields in existing logstash indices. Please help!! ---

What are you using to send the data to Elasticsearch? ---

Its logstash. May be I am wrong but I tried copying existing template from APImodifying it and trying to put using CURL but that is not happening. I am not so versed with MAPPING templates hence wanted to know what method I can follow to create my in index name so that fields won't get entangled in other indices. ---

You need to have it defined in your output section to Elasticsearch. Can you show us what you have there? ---

its simple ``` input { ``` file { path =\> "/opt/HASH/finalHash" start\_position =\> "beginning" sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null" } } filter { csv { separator =\> "," columns =\> ["hash","sev","stat","attack","type"] } } output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> "[http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9200)" index =\> "hashes-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" } } ---

That will work. It will only apply the default-dynamic mapping though. If you want to use the same type of mapping that the `logstash-*` indices use, then you will need to copy the existing template and change it to match the new index pattern. Also, please format your code/logs/config using the `` button, or markdown style back ticks. It helps to make things easy to read which helps us help you 🙂 ---

Yep but I do have other indices running which is logstash-isnti-_; now when I run logstash the fields from hashes-_ indices getting mingled in logstash-isnti-\* indices. I need to keep those completely separate and this is not happening. ---

Hi Team, Unfortunately this is not happening; since my data is being ingested by logstash the fields created by either of the indices are gettign appeared in both of the Indices. Here is what I did - Logstash is creating indices by name isnti- [has fields "IOC","attack","Severity"] and hash-\* [has fields "hash","attack","Severity"] Now Hash field is appearing in isnti indices as well and vice-versa. How to make them completely isolated? ``` more 01.conf ``` ```auto file { path => "/opt/output/*.out" start_position => "beginning" sincedb_path => "/dev/null" } } filter { csv { separator => "," columns => ["IOC","attack","Severity"] } grok { match => { "IOC" => "%{IP:IPaddr}" } } geoip { source => "IPaddr" remove_field => "IPaddr" } } output { elasticsearch { hosts => "http://localhost:9200" index => "isnti-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" } } ` `input { file { path => "/opt/output/*.hashes" start_position => "beginning" sincedb_path => "/dev/null" } } filter { csv { separator => "," columns => ["hash","attack","Severity"] } } output { elasticsearch { hosts => "http://localhost:9200" index => "hash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" } } ` ``` ---
