Hi All
i want to create dynamic index based on the file name --
currently my input part is -
> input {
> file {
> path =\> "E:\Local\_Elasticsearch\logstashv5\datafiles/\*.csv"
> start\_position =\> "beginning"
>
> }
> }
and my output part is -
```
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "localhost"
index => "testindex1"
document_type => "tesdata1"
}
stdout{}
}
```

What you've posted does not create indices based on filename, but rather daily indices.
If you still want filename-based indexing, you can use the "path" field of each event, like so
```auto
filter {
ruby {
code => "
event.set('index_name',event.get('path').split('/')[-1].gsub('.csv',''))
"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "localhost"
index => "%{index_name}"
document_type => "tesdata1"
}
}
```
