In Kibana, if I click on an index, and then click the Manage button, I have the option to "Add lifecycle policy" to that existing index - I'm asked for the policy to add and the rollover index. How do I do this via the API? I see documentation on how to remove a policy but nothing on how to add on…

It's an index settings. So you need to call the update index settings API or the index template API . Of course this also works with the create index API . See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ilm-settings.html#_index_level_settings Specifically index.lifecycle.name.

How do I add a lifecycle policy to an index via the API?
