Hello,

I want to configure monitoring setting as such that only 7 days monitoring indices is created in my cluster in order to monitor for only 7 days and not more..

Also Is there a way that only 1 kibana monitoring index is created once a week or month?? I dont dont want daily creation of monitoring index.
