Hello,  
I am currently using Elasticsearch v 7.10.2. For the indexes that are created, the policy is applied by creating a policy in the state management policies and applying policy to the indices. Is there a way to apply a policy to a new index created every specific day without applying policy?

We will inform you of the policy we have applied as follows.  
{ "policy\_id": "PRD\_fota-admin-mon-new\_90ddeletepolicy", "description": "Demonstrate a hot-delete workflow.", "last\_updated\_time": 1683518400067, "schema\_version": 1, "error\_notification": null, "default\_state": "hot", "states": [{ "name": "hot", "actions": , "transitions": [ { "state\_name": "delete", "conditions": { "min\_index\_age": "90d" } }] }, { "name": "delete", "actions": [

Hi @Myungji_Kim,

Welcome! Did I understand correctly that you want to apply the policy to newly created indices automatically?

I would recommend having a look at using [index templates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.10/getting-started-index-lifecycle-management.html#ilm-gs-alias-apply-policy) to apply the policy to a particular index pattern.

Hope that helps!
