Hi Folks. I'm currently using a cron job to reindex certain log-messages of multiple daily indexes into a new one. Is this possible via elastic internal tools like rollups ? Im currently querying the logs if they contain certain keywords and reindex them if they do. Sadly rollups seem to be more for metrics. ---

Not via rollups, no. The other approach is to put those messages into their own indices to begin with. ---
