Dear Bro,  
I am trying to set readonly for index in warn phase, using ILM but it is not readonly  
This is my setting

```auto
"warm": {
        "min_age": "2d",
        "actions": {
          "readonly": {}
        }
      },

```

Please help me to check it

```auto
"min_age": "2d"

```

as its configured, your index might need to be at least two days old for the action to be applied.

take a look at [this.](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/the-age-of-index-which-is-using-ilm-policy-management/261198/7)

Notice: if you have used rollover action in your hot phase, the [index age will be calculated relative to the rollover time,](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/little-bit-confused-on-min-age-parameter-in-ilm/299049/5) not the index creation time.

what if you decrease the min\_age to something like 1 minute?
