Pipeline configuration of your logstash elastic search output.

For weekly indexes `logstash-%{+xxxx.ww}`

Actually our output is like :
output {
elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] }
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }
}
Should we add something like this:
index =\> "logstash-%{+[YYYY.MM](http://YYYY.MM)}"

Yes, add it inside the elasticsearch block.
