Apply a policy to a create index request
editApply a policy to a create index request
editThe index.lifecycle.name
setting can be set on an individual create index
request so index lifecycle management immediately starts managing the index:
PUT test-index { "settings": { "number_of_shards": 1, "number_of_replicas": 1, "index.lifecycle.name": "my_policy" } }
Its recommended not to use the create index API with a policy that defines a rollover action. If you do so, the new index as the result of the rollover will not carry forward the policy. Always use index templates to define policies with rollover actions.
