Description

The currently available index rotation strategies (as of Graylog 2.3.0) support rotating indices according to number of messages, (approx.) size of indices, and after a specific duration.

Some users have the requirement to rotate indices at a specific time of day (e. g. midnight in the local timezone or every n hours starting at midnight) which cannot be modeled with the available index rotation strategies.

As a workaround, users can create a cron job which triggers index rotation via the Graylog REST API at the desired time of day, but having that functionality built-in would be preferable.
