Hi Team
Setup:
ELK cluster is setup using docker-compose on one beefy bare metal server.
On the kubernetes side I am running filebeat as a DaemonSet to ship container logs to logstash.
Our K8S cluster will have around 50 namespaces and each namespace will have around 10 pods running.
Question:
I want to have a separate index created for each kubernetes namespace. Also whenever a new namespace is added, an index has to be auto-created as well. How do i achieve it ?
Configurations below.
