I want to delete the index and index it again with same name once in a day using logstash.  
I want the same index name because an application will be using the same index name to fetch the data.  
Is there any we can do that. ?

Thanks,  
Sandeep

This is often solved by introducing alias as described [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/index-aliases.html).
