y: A 2 digit year -
m: The 2 digit month -
W: The 2 digit week of the year -
d: The 2 digit day of the month -
H: The 2 digit hour of the day, in 24 hour notation -
M: The 2 digit minute of the hour -
S: The 2 digit number of second of the minute -
j: The 3 digit day of the year
This option is required by the alias action, and has no default setting in that context.
For the create_index action, there is no default setting.
For the snapshot action, the default value of this setting is
