elasticcsearch exporter dynamic trace index creation

[ahsanashraf918]

I'd like to ingest traces into Elasticsearch and ensure that the trace index name includes the current date as a suffix. This way, a new index is created every day. I found the repository where the suffix is configured, which can be seen at the following link:

OpenTelemetry Collector Elasticsearch Exporter - Line 99

how can i achieve it? like test_23-Occt-2023 and so on

my values are like:

  elasticsearch:
    endpoints: [http://elasticsearch-coordinator:9200]
    trace_index: test
    traces_dynamic_index: 
      enabled: true

it is implementable. however if you want to append date as suffix, I would recommend you to use data stream feature of elasticsearch.
