Index lifecycle management settings

edit

These index-level ILM settings are typically configured through index templates. For more information, see Setting up a policy.

index.lifecycle.name
The name of the policy to use to manage the index.
index.lifecycle.rollover_alias
The index alias to update when the index rolls over. Specify when using a policy that contains a rollover action. When the index rolls over, the alias is updated to reflect that the index is no longer the write index. For more information about rollover, see Using policies to manage index rollover.
indices.lifecycle.poll_interval
(time units) How often index lifecycle management checks for indices that meet policy criteria. Defaults to 10m.
