Quite right, I'm glad I pointed you in the right directions :)

Cheers!

 Thank you, David! 

 I don't use Logstash mostly because I could not find an easy way to send 
 Serilog events to Logstash, while Elastic sink comes with Serilog in the 
 package. 

 But regardless, from your comment I realized that Indices are created at 
 the moment something is indexed into them and therefore there is no need to 
 tweak any configuration! That one a day behavior is achieved simply by 
 giving indices new name for every day. It looks trivial, but for 
 uninitiated take some mental effort to realize. :-)

 Hello Konstantin,

 You can use index value of name-%{+.MM.dd}  in your elasticsearch 
 output in logstash

 HTH,

 Most of the guides I could find recommend creation of *one index per

 not a single guide dares to explain *HOW exactly shall I configure 
 freshly installed Elastic to create new index every day*. Could 
 somebody please help me with it?

 A few bits of additional info: I deal with Elastic on Windows Server (or 
 may be on Azure, but not any Linux) and I (plan) to send log events to 
 Elastic using Serilog. Any advise for those special circumstances 
 appreciated.

 Thank you!
 Konstantin
