Hello,  
The rotation strategy of my indices is “index time” and the rotation perdiod is “P1D” (=1 day).  
When does this rotation precisely happen ? at excatly midnight ?  
On my system it seems to rotate at about 1:00 (the search result displays in which indices it searched).  
The configured timezone is Europe/Paris and we are in winter time since last weekend, don’t know if it changes something on this rotation process.  
Is is it possible to configure the scheduling of this rotation ? I need to rotate at exactly midnight.

At 00:00 UTC to be exact.

Please open a feature request at [Issues · Graylog2/graylog2-server · GitHub](https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-server/issues) if you need more flexible rotation rules.
