Thanks for answering.  
Your suggestion is very appealing.  
However, I am not getting the expected result: input.index is not behaving well.

I have made the following statements in `filebeat.yml` and `nginx.yml`.

```auto
# vi /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml

filebeat.config.modules:
   path: /etc/filebeat/modules.d/*.yml
output.elasticsearch:
   hosts: ["localhost:9200"].

```

```auto
# vi /etc/filebeat/modules.d/nginx.yml

- module: nginx
  # access logs
  access:
    enabled: true
    var.paths: ["/var/log/nginx/access.log"].
    input.index: "filebeat-else02-httpd-access-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"

  # Error logs
  error:
    enabled: true
    var.paths: ["/var/log/nginx/error.log"]]
    input.index: "filebeat-else02-httpd-error-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"

```

Restarting Filebeat yields the following result.

```auto
# curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v"
health status index index uuid pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
... snip ...
green open filebeat-else02-httpd-access-2022.08.02 MhfoSGBnRt-Kenui4hzI4Q 1 0 0 0 208b 208b
yellow open filebeat-7.12.0-2022.08.02-000001 6LiS2pIER0etyxqqL-Y3wQ 1 1 422802 0 289.9mb 289.9mb
... snip ...

```

Thanks to `input.index`, we have created an index with the given name.  
However, the document is not added to that index, but to the default `filebeat-7.12.0-2022.08.02-000001`.

I would like the document to be added to the index with the specified name.

What action is needed?
