Hi,  
for my Index I would like to get every day a new one _name\_date_ like _my\_index\_190503_. With Logstast it works out of the box. But how to realize it with a own index? Can I create a index out of my C# -code? Or is it possible via template? And how to do it?  
Would be great to get some support.  
Thanks.

Here my index:

```
PUT time_series
{
  "settings": {
    "number_of_shards": 5
  },
  "mappings": {
    "timeseries": {
      "properties": {
                "timestamp" : { 
                  "type" : "date",
                  "format": "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
                  },
                "value" : { "type" : "double" },
                "recordid" : { "type" : "integer" }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Right now I just give the new index name including date to the client and the index is created automatically.  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/current/indexing-documents.html#\_single\_documents\_with\_parameters](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/current/indexing-documents.html#_single_documents_with_parameters)  
Now I have only the problem to set the right types for the values.
