Hi @ddatsh, welcome to the forum! If you have a different APM Server for each environment, then you can set a suffix on your indices: [Custom index lifecycle management with APM Server | APM User Guide [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/guide/current/ilm.html#custom-ilm-index-suffix) when using the Elastic Agent APM integration, you can create two policies with different namespaces, and follow these instructions to create customised ILM policies: [Index lifecycle management | APM User Guide [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/guide/current/ilm-how-to.html#data-streams-custom-policy) ---
