This relates to [Troubleshooting index lifecycle management errors | Elasticsearch Guide [8.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.5/index-lifecycle-error-handling.html#_setting_index_lifecycle_rollover_alias_for_index_y_is_empty_or_not_defined) and you don't have an alias defined at all.

Can you share the output from `GET _ilm/policy/<whatever the blanked out name is>`.

Hi Mark Walkom,

We ran the below template in DEV tool but still aliases was not allocated in index management.

```auto
PUT /my index-000001
{
  "settings": {
    "index.number_of_shards": 2,
    "index.lifecycle.name": "DeleteIndexAfter14Days"
  }
}

```

After we ran the below template, we could able to see the another hot node was created but there was no data it goes to previous index and still we getting the Index life error for both nodes.  
Please find the snapshot
