How I can name the index created by filebeat based on the time from the log file. Can we use date filter in filebeat configuration like logstash. ---

This is currently not supported in filebeat. You can either use Logstash or use the Elasticsearch Ingest feature. Have a look at this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/date-index-name-processor.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/date-index-name-processor.html) ---
