> [@sundarm](#): > > Invalid index name [%{env} -2019.01.30] That's invalid because it contains a space character, but if that's what you get in the error message it may mean %{env} was not substituted because the env field does not exist. ---

> [@sundarm](#): > > index =\>"%{env} -%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" There is a space in the index name and that is not alllowed... Change ```auto index =>"%{env} -%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" ``` To ```auto index =>"%{env}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" ``` That should clear up your error... ---

Have you looked at an event in Kibana? Does it have an env field? If you do not set fields\_under\_root then you may have [fields][env] instead of [env]. ---

OK. So try ``` index =>"%{[fields][env]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" ``` ---
