Change the index name
editChange the index name
editFilebeat uses data streams named filebeat-8.7.1.
To use a different name, set the index option
in the Elasticsearch output. You also need to configure the setup.template.name and
setup.template.pattern options to match the new name. For example:
output.elasticsearch.index: "customname-%{[agent.version]}"
setup.template.name: "customname"
setup.template.pattern: "customname-%{[agent.version]}"
If you’re using pre-built Kibana dashboards, also set the
setup.dashboards.index option. For example:
setup.dashboards.index: "customname-*"
For a full list of template setup options, see Elasticsearch index template.
