Hi friend, my architecture is filebeat will send data to logstash. Logstash will send data to Kibana and kibana will visualize. My index is like below

```auto
Myindex-team1
Myindex-team2
Myindex-team3
Yourindex-team1
Yourindex-team2
Yourindex-team3

```

Can I know if I set template My\* , and attach it to rollover policy. Will my index name changed based on size? What is default rollover name and his I can. Change it?

you should use Myindex\* as alias

if you use My\* then you won't be able to have seperate index with My(anything) as this ILM will impact that

Thanks for the reply. I have updated. I am expecting as below for rollover

```auto
Myindex-team1-yyyyMMdd
Myindex-team2-yyyyMMdd
Myindex-team3-yyyyMMdd
Yourindex-team1-yyyyMMdd
Yourindex-team3-yyyyMMdd

```

Should I create 6 template?

no one template should take care all. and one ILM take cares all. when your index reaches to X limit (depend on your ILM) parameter it will create new index  
you use myindex to write and elk will write to that myindex-xxxx (newest one)
