Hello,
Running elasticsearch kibana and filebeat I will like to make an index and pattern with ILM.
On Elasticsearch I did
```auto
while [["$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' $ES_URL)" != "200"]]; do sleep 1; done
curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/_ilm/policy/daily?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "policy": { "phases": { "hot": { "actions": { "rollover": { "max_age": "1d" }, "set_priority": { "priority": 100 } }, "min_age": "0ms"}, "delete": { "min_age": "7d", "actions": { "delete": {} } } } } } '
```
Which is working, now I am trying to make index connect to it.
I know on Logstash I can do:
# output {
```
# elasticsearch {
# hosts => "http://elasticsearch-master:9200"
# index => "myapp"
# ilm_rollover_alias => "myapp"
# ilm_pattern => "000001"
# ilm_policy => "daily"
# ilm_enabled => true
# }
# }
```
How can I do the same setting for the output.elasticsearch: ?
When I tried:
```auto
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["http://elasticsearch-master:9200"]
index: "myapp-%{[beat.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
setup.template:
name: 'myapp'
pattern: 'myapp-*'
enabled: true
```
But this did not work..
Thank you : )

Welcome to our community! 😃
It's a little hard for me to read that curl request in a long line like that, but this should work;
```auto
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["http://elasticsearch-master:9200"]
index: daily
```
TLDR you need to set the index to the write alias of the policy, which is commonly the same as the policy name.
