Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Data Prepper trace indices use a sequential index pattern. Some situations warrant a date-time index pattern instead.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support date-time patterns in trace index names.

Additional context

Data Prepper supports date-time patterns on trace indices in #767 .

This is somewhat related to #1221 in that Data Prepper would need to support configurable index names.

Start by reviewing the existing date-time trace-index support described in #767 and the configurable index-name discussion in #1221. Map how Data Prepper currently generates sequential trace index names, then define and verify support for date-time patterns in trace index names.
