Hello, everyone.
I'm currently testing the various functionalities offered by X-pack to decide wether or not we'll use them in production or not.
We currently have several clusters needing monitoring, So, I set up a test cluster to gather the monitoring data.
I want each cluster to have it's monitoring data in a different indice. Is that achievable?
The settings seems to only allow to change the date format, and not specify a name.
Any info on the matter would be usefull.
Thanks !

It's not possible to configure a different index pattern for the monitoring data per cluster. Each document of monitoring data has a `cluster_uuid` field, so to separate the data per cluster, you'll just need to use that field in a query filter.

Ok, got it, thanks.
And Kibana is actually doing it quite well.
Have a nice day.
