in my elasticsearch, I will receive daily index with format like dstack-prod_dcbs-. I want to add ILM to them, immediately after they are revived. I dont know why ILM are not added to indexs. below you can find my command.(I have already defined "dstack-prod_dcbs-policy" ILM)
*PUT _template/dstack-prod_dcbs
{
"index_patterns": ["dstack-prod_dcbs-*"],
"settings": {
"index.lifecycle.name": "dstack-prod_dcbs-policy"
}
}*
but when I run
GET dstack-prod_dcbs/_ilm/explain*
below result returns
*{
"indices" : {
"dstack-prod_dcbs-20200821" : {
"index" : "dstack-prod_dcbs-20200821",
"managed" : false
},
"dstack-prod_dcbs-2020-09-22" : {
"index" : "dstack-prod_dcbs-2020-09-22",
"managed" : false
}
}
}*
I believe ILM is an alternative to using daily indices where indices are rolled over when a condition is met in the policy (not when it becomes a new day)
For ILM you need to define a rollover alias for the template
PUT _template/dstack-prod_dcbs
{
"index_patterns": ["dstack-prod_dcbs-*"],
"settings": {
"index.lifecycle.name": "dstack-prod_dcbs-policy",
"index.lifecycle.rollover_alias": "dstack-prod_dcbs"
}
}
Then you need to create the first index manually and assign it as the write index for the alias
PUT dstack-prod_dcbs-000001
{
"aliases": {
"dstack-prod_dcbs":{
"is_write_index": true
}
}
}
After that everything will be handled automatically and a new index will be created on rollover which will be then assigned as the write index for the alias
