Hi,  
I have an index in a hot phase, which was completed  
After n days from roll over the index will enter the warm phase and it will be relocated to the warm node.  
Is it possible to force the index to move to the warm phase?  
Thank you!  
Regards  
Ana

Here is my ILM policy

```
PUT _ilm/policy/fortilogs
{
  "policy": {
    "phases": {
      "hot": {
        "min_age": "0ms",
        "actions": {
          "rollover": {
            "max_size": "49gb",
            "max_age": "9d"
          },
          "set_priority": {
            "priority": 100
          }
        }
      },
      "warm": {
        "min_age": "15d",
        "actions": {
          "allocate": {
            "include": {},
            "exclude": {},
            "require": {
              "data": "warm"
            }
          },
          "readonly": {}
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Thank you!  
I've read the article previous to post the topic but It was not working for me.  
I've tried

```
POST _ilm/move/my_index
{
    "current_step": { 
    "phase": "hot",
    "action": "complete",
    "name": "complete"
  },
  "next_step": { 
    "phase": "warm",
    "action": "allocate",
    "name": "allocate"
  }
}

```

and It worked

Regards!  
Ana
