Hi, I use Elasticsearch on my log access of several website. I create one index per day for every websites. I would have a visibilty of my log access on a period of 24 hours. But, for the moment, I close every index of the day before every morning. So I only have a visibility of few of hours. I have 2 solutions for my problem: - I create a index per hour instead of one index per day. But I think it's a bad idea because I will get too many indexes. Maybe I have totally wrong. - Or I duplicate my index of the day before. i close the original index, in the case of I need them later. And I use "delete by query" on my copy every hour to keep a visibility of 24 hours. But I don't know how to do to have 2 index with the same name (one open and one close). Do you have any advice for my problem? Hubert -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

For 24 hour sliding window and daily indexes, you can try the following: close index of the day before yesterday, so you have two indexes open, for yesterday and today. Then use a filter in your query on the timestamp field from now minus 24 \* 3600 seconds, using the two day indexes in your query.
