How to Implement ILM on a Fixed Index?

[vnajUWni]

I am currently using the elasticsearch-logger plugin from APISIX (GitHub - apache/apisix: The Cloud-Native API Gateway) to write logs to Elasticsearch. However, this plugin does not support creating new index by date and can only use a fixed value, like "apisix_log". In addition, the plugin writes to an alias named "apisix". I have searched extensively online and even consulted ChatGPT 4, but have yet to resolve my issue. Therefore, I'm turning to the discuss.elastic.co community for assistance. How should I implement ILM in this situation?

I would recommend you create a rollover index with a write alias named apisix. Your plugin will index into this write alias and you then set up ILM to rollover the index and delete old indices.
