Hi, is it possible to combine ILM and automatic snapshoot?  
for example, I have an ILM which store the index for 14 days in hot node, then the index goes to warm node for day 15 until day 90.  
after day 90, can I set up automatic snapshoot for that index and after the snapshoot is created, delete the data

Thank you

Not at this stage, they are considered separate.
