Hi there! I wanted to learn, how can I index documents daily from newer file
For example, I have file search\_2017.07.27.log
> input {
> file {
> path =\> ['/etc/logstash/elk\_searchlogs/search\_\*']
> start\_position =\> "beginning"
> type =\> "searchlog"
> ignore\_older =\> 0
> }
> }
I want The indexing to go the following way
1. File is uploaded to my server with djenkins
2. Then logstash takes this file and indexes it
Is it possible?

So a new file ends up in the elk\_searchlogs directory each day and is named after the day's date? Sure, that'll work just fine and is a pretty standard use case.
