Provide easy interface to search based on index patterns

[tomsommer]

Like Kibana, offer a way to handle index patterns such as logstash-YYYY.MM.DD etc.: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index-patterns.html

This would make it a lot easier to search logstash indexes that are split by dates, based on a given timestamp and pattern, the library would deduct which indexes it should search (Like Kibana does)

[marcing]

Perhaps passing wildcard in 'index' param would be enough?

		$params = [
			'index' => 'logstash-_*'
			'body' => [
				'query' => ...
			],
			'client' => ...
		];

Cheers

That would work, but it would search all indexes - even those outside of a given time-period.

@tomsommer you can use also Index patterns feature available from Elasticsearch 6.5 or regular expressions using query, see here.
