Rolling indices in Elasticsearch

I see a lot of topics on how to create rolling indices in Elasticsearch using logstash.

But is there a way to achieve the same i.e create indices on daily basis in elasticsearch without logstash?

I came a cross a post which says to run cron job to create the indices as date rolls, but that is a manual job I have to do, I was looking for out of the box options if available in elasticsearch

Yes, use index templates (which is what Logstash uses internally to achieve the creation of rolling indices)

Simply create a template with a name pattern like this and then everytime you index a document in an index whose name matches that pattern, ES will create the index for you:

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_template/my_template -d '{
    "template" : "logstash-*",
    "settings" : {
        "number_of_shards" : 1
    },
    "mappings" : {
        "my_type" : {
            "properties": {
                ...
            }
        }
    }
}'
