The following is the contents of my Logstash pipeline.conf configuration file：

```
output {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9200"]
        index => "%{[@metahostname]}" # How to write dynamic name
    }
}

```

How to configure the index section. After the log is sent from Logstash to elasticsearch, I can create an index on her own hostname in elasticsearch.

index =\> "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" // this will create a index a/c to date .  
OR  
Index =\>"any\_name\_you\_prefer" //this will create an index the name you provide.
