how to replay the events in an index other than index="main" through eventgen app?

I had uploaded the eventgen app on my splunk and used the following eventgen.conf file in $splunkHome/etc/apps/eventgen/local/eventgen.conf (which I found in the eventgen app website). I could see the events generated from eventgen app in the "main" index. But what changes do I have to make if I want to see the events in some other index other than the main index

[sample_tutorial 1.sample]
mode = replay
sampletype = csv
timeMultiple = 2

backfill = -15m

backfillSearch = index=main sourcetype=splunkd

outputMode = stdout

outputMode = splunkstream

splunkHost = localhost

splunkUser = admin

splunkPass = changeme

outputMode = file

fileName = /tmp/internal.log

token.0.token = \d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2},\d{3,6}
token.0.replacementType = timestamp
token.0.replacement = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%f

token.1.token = \d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d{3,6}
token.1.replacementType = timestamp
token.1.replacement = %m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S.%f

token.2.token = \d{2}/\w{3}/\d{4}:\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d{3,6}
token.2.replacementType = timestamp
token.2.replacement = %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S.%f

token.3.token = \d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}
token.3.replacementType = timestamp
token.3.replacement = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

token.4.token = \d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}
token.4.replacementType = timestamp
token.4.replacement = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S

Sorry if make u little confused by my unformatted English language.

It should probably be something like -

[sample_tutorial 1.sample]
mode = replay
sampletype = csv
timeMultiple = 2
#backfill = -15m
#backfillSearch = index=main sourcetype=splunkd
index=<your index name>

We can see a sample config at Simulating Data with the Splunk Event Generator

It shows -
