Hi  
Is it possible to make configuration for shift the name from original index to snapshot name? I need such config because many of index are generate with name in date order so I want to know which one index has snapshot

I don't think this is possible, the snapshot name is not derived from the original index name as the same snapshot can have multiple different index on it.
