Hi,

I have a lifecycle policy with template/alias/index with 5gb and 3 days

indextest-00001

good works when the rollover step, close de indextest-00001 and creates a new indextest-00002 but the new index dont write any info, doesnt have any documents , is empty and 450b

i put the alias in indextest-0001 with is\_write true , dont show any errors.

i dont know what is the error

Thank you in advance

I see one of the problems is that the index created 0002 dont have the alias although i put

```auto
POST /_aliases
{
  "actions": [
    {
      "add": {
        "index": "indextest-*",
        "alias": "3days5gbalias",
        "is_write_index": true
      }
    }
  ]

```
