Hello and welcome,

Which issues are you having? It is not clear, please provide more context.

ILM policies are configured in Elasticsearch, not Logstash.

I have implemented ILM for an index and the index is sitting in the warm phase but not going to delete phase. Below is the screenshot of it

Below is my ilm policy configuration  
PUT \_ilm/policy/custom\_policy  
{  
"policy": {  
"phases": {  
"hot": {  
"min\_age": "0ms",  
"actions": {  
"rollover": {  
"max\_age": "2m"  
}  
}  
},  
"warm": {  
"min\_age": "5m",  
"actions": {  
"set\_priority": {  
"priority": 50  
}  
}  
},  
"delete": {  
"min\_age": "10m",  
"actions": {  
"delete": {  
"delete\_searchable\_snapshot": true  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
Also for custom generated indexes it is giving as the index is not getting pointed to the correct alias`Preformatted text`
