if[type] == "IISLogs"
{
elasticsearch
{
index =\> "iislogs"
hosts =\> ["myserver:9200"]
}
}
else
{
elasticsearch
{
index =\> " **filebeat-2016.03.27**"
hosts =\> ["myserver:9200"]
}
}
Since, filebeat indexes are created daily i.e. filebeat-YYYY-mm-dd format. How can I specify the latest index of filebeat in above output configuration. If I specify filebeat-2016.03.27, it works fine. But I want something generic.
How can I achieve that ?

See the documentation of the [elasticsearch output's `index` option](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-index) and its default value. See also the [sprintf format documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/event-dependent-configuration.html#sprintf).
