Snapshot the most recent indexes only

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I want to snapshot the most recent created indexes based on a pattern

assuming I have the following indexes in the cluster:

index1_20191104
index1_20191103
index2_20191104
index2_20191101

I only want the snapshot to contain:

ndex1_20191104
index2_20191104

Is there someway to create a snapshot based on this?

Any suggestions gratefully received

I'm assuming your creating those indices via some naming pattern? You should be able to use the same pattern (as part of a *_{dataMathExpression} pattern) in the "indices" parameter.
I think the documentation on data naming patterns and multi index syntax should be helpful to you here.
