Unable to create index per day

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi, my output config is:
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost"]
manage_template => true
index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
}
It creates a index like "logstash-2019.10.14-000001" and doesn't create new index per day.
what is the -000001? and why it doesn't create new index per day?
I didn't set any Rollup job and I just wanna have index per day.
I use elk container with logstash and elasticsearch version 7.4.0
Thanx

Does setting the 'ilm_enabled => false' option help?

I've added the 'ilm_enabled => false' and now it's ok. thanx.
but does it disable the ' Index Lifecycle Policies' and 'Rollup Jobs' in Kibana or they are not related at all ?

I do not think it will affect what you have configured in Kibana but I cannot say for certain.

I had this same issue - (no new indexes were being created with the "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" pattern until I disabled the "ilm_enabled" setting. There was nothing in the logstash or elasticsearch logs telling me why my index wasnt created. This seems like a bug or is it just something that needs to be better documented?

This was with version 7.4.0 for elastic, kibana, and logstash.
