Hello All,

In ILM policy of Elasticsearch, there are 4 phases and based on phases each have different actions. Is it possible to add more requests for actions like adding/removing aliases?

Such requirements will be like where we can keep few active indexes in "active-log-name" aliases and the earlier indexes which are in warm or cold phase we can remove those indexes from "active" alias to "in-active" alias.

BTW, I am running my cluster on ElasticSearch Cloud service.

Thanks,
