I've the same problem. Before version 2.0 you could add the index in the host but today it is no longer possible. I found this page: [Specify index when using elasticsearch logstash filter](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/specify-index-when-using-elasticsearch-logstash-filter/1928) but I haven't tried to patch the plugin.
