dynamic indexname

[MonDeveloper]

I usually configure the IndexName with a fixed part (the ImndexName prefix) + the rolling date part.
It worked smoothly.
Now I need something more complex, I need to change the IndexName prefix from "the fixed part" to "a dynamic part" based on a message field like %logger for instance. I tried using both %logger and %{logger} but anytime it has been literally copied as part of the final IndexName and not evaluated.

Have you tried %{logger} ? this feature should work.
"logger" is a key name in your index data?

I tried and it ends creating an index named literally
"my-prefix-%{logger}-2016-02-15" :-)

I'm sorry @MonDeveloper I couldn't reproduce this,

My configuration is:

<appender name="ElasticSearchAppender" type="log4net.ElasticSearch.ElasticSearchAppender, log4stash">
    <Server>localhost</Server>
    <Port>9200</Port>
    <IndexName>index_%{logger}</IndexName>
    <IndexType>LogEvent</IndexType>
    <Bulksize>1</Bulksize>
    <BulkIdleTimeout>-1</BulkIdleTimeout>
    <IndexAsync>False</IndexAsync>
    <FixedFields>Partial</FixedFields>  
    <ElasticFilters>
      <Add>
        <Key>logger</Key>
        <Value>name</Value>
      </Add>
    </ElasticFilters>
  </appender>

And it successfully created index name index_name
