Elasticsearch and Kibana version: 7.3.1 We host and provide elasticsearch cluster to other teams within our org. We want to delete indices in that cluster after certain days. For that matter we created a policy which takes indices to different phases (without rollover) and deletes after 30 days. How to apply this policy to all non-internal indices? ---
