Hey,

I would like to auto rollover my ES indexes every daily due the fact where it is still a bit unsure how the retention policy is going to look like. So i set it up like this:

The problem im having is that it is not rolling over and the index says it should if i am not mistaken:

What is wrong here?

Thanks,  
Pim

I noticed that on default the index lifecycle setting is not there:

```
PUT /_cluster/settings 
{
  "persistent": {
    "indices.lifecycle.poll_interval": "30m"
  }
}

```

Is 30m a normal value btw?

30m should be fine as the value for that. if you see abnormal activity in your cluster monitoring, you can increase that.
