Currently i have logs from 5 to 6 servers coming to elk. I want to delete all indices older than a week. what is the best way to achieve this? i went through ILM but didn't get the exact way to do this

No Need to add ilm to logstash config, And ILM will be applied to new indices only. You have to apply ILM manually to old indices. PUT <index_name> { "settings": { "index.lifecycle.name": "<policy_name>" } }

Delete index older than a week

When i select ILm and create a new policy i am only getting hot, warm and cold phase. no delete phase. Indices are created on a daily basis index_name-@timestamp i want to delete all indices after 7 days
