I am having an issue with my beats index rotating I have the following configurations setup and looks like my data is not going into the right index. Any ideas what may be wrong?

I could be wrong. But I see a Index 07.28 which was created the one below the selected one. But the data is going to 06.28 which is why its so huge.

It's likely that the 07.28 index was created separately, as ILM only changes the dates in an index pattern if the policy is recreated.

And an index with 3gb in it is not huge, I don't see a problem there.
