#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
setup.template.name: "metricbeat"
setup.template.pattern: "metricbeat-*"
setup.dashboards.index: "metricbeat-*"
```
Like we have index setup template pattern in metricbeat, Can we also create such index pattern from logstash?
Below is my logstash output configuration
output {
```
elasticsearch {
hosts => "localhost:9200"
index => "%{[fields][log-type]}-%{[host][name]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
}
```
How do I create index pattern?
My intention is I don't want to create index from Kibana UI. Instead I need to create an index pattern like {[fields][log-type]}-\* which would avoid me creating index pattern in Kibana UI?
Could please update me how to create index pattern from logstash?
