 Hey everbody,

```

I'am moving olds Elasticsearch logs (2.2.0) to a higer version (5.0.2) with Logstash. It's working but I can't index the logs in the new version with the date of indexing of the old logs.

I'm using the following conf structure :

input  
{  
elasticsearch  
{  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "old-logs\*"  
}  
}

output  
{  
elasticsearch  
{  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9201"]  
index =\> "old-logs..." # looking for index with the date of indexing #  
}  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}

I don't know how to index the logs with there date...

Can anybody help me?

J.S
