This and the line below can be reduced to if strings.HasSuffix(r.IndexRoot, "/").

@mjibson, (as I'm new to GO) Should I reduce it? |
|
Yes, you should. But I'm a bit confused about the intended behavior. That will test if just the last character is a "/", not if the entire string has value "/". Which do you want? |
|
As you can see in #974 , the intended behavior is to enable the user to signal Bosun 'just use this index name and don't add date suffix'. The context behind this is that ES indices 'costs' quite a lot in terms of memory and cpu. there are use-cases such as the one that initiated this PR that the size of data is <5MB per day so there is no reason to create new indices every day. also there's the fact that olivere/elastic client (that Bosun is using to interact with ES) query's indices by index name, and doesn't include index aliases (which you can think of sym-links from 'myindex-2015.05.31' to 'myindex-global'). Will the 'strings.HasSuffix(r.IndexRoot, "/")' will handle Hope that the above is clear enoungh, |

Strings can't be nil, but they can be empty, and HasSuffix handles that correctly. |

@kylebrandt, could you review this? |

Tested '/' functionality as concrete ES index name signaling (without Bosun adding date suffix), works great.
