I am trying to configure filebeat to write logs to elastic. I have got the logs to go into elastic, but want know to set up ilm.

I have

setup.ilm:  
enabled: true  
policy\_name: "My\_Policy"

And when looking in elastic that policy now exists, but the logs are not going into this policy. How do I get the logs to attach to the policy that I have created?
