Change the index name
editChange the index name
editIf you’re sending events to a cluster that supports index lifecycle management, see Index lifecycle management (ILM) to learn how to change the index name.
Functionbeat uses time series indices, by default, when index lifecycle
management is disabled or unsupported. The indices are named
functionbeat-7.9.3-yyyy.MM.dd, where yyyy.MM.dd is the date when the
events were indexed. To use a different name, set the
index option in the Elasticsearch output. The value that
you specify should include the root name of the index plus version and date
information. 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]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
setup.template.name: "customname"
setup.template.pattern: "customname-*"
If index lifecycle management is enabled (which is typically the default), setup.template.name and setup.template.pattern are ignored.
For a full list of template setup options, see Elasticsearch index template.
Remember to change the index name when you load dashboards via the Kibana UI.
