Hello there,

In my setup i'm creating indices month on month EG. \<indexname202001, indexname202002 and indexname202003\>. I want to set ILM policy for below scenario.

1. set ILM based on age
2. Anything \>30 days move to warm
3. Anything \>90 days move to cold
4. and \>180 days delete

Please suggest. Thank you in advance.

Regards,  
Shadab
