Hi guys,

Is this possible?

> curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/_template/template\_1" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
> {  
> "index\_patterns" : ["\*"],  
> "aliases" : {  
> "{index}_{date}" : {}  
> }  
> }'

I need all time to create a new indice, too create a respective alias, but with the current date.  
Ex.:

> curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/twitter" # creating a new index  
> curl -X GET "localhost:9200/twitter/\_alias/" # show the alias  
> {  
> "twitter" : {  
> "aliases" : {  
> "twitter\_2019-04-23" : { },  
> }  
> }  
> }
