How to find the step names for each ILM action in each phases ?

For example , how to find the sequence of step names for searchable snapshot action in cold phase ?

I know that we can use ilm explain api, but that will give only current step name, but i need to know all step names in a particular action. Is it possible with any API ?

Hi there,

We don't really publish the list of step names for each step, because they are subject to change between minor releases (no BWC). The only way to see them is enabling TRACE logging or inspecting the code right now.

Is there a reason you want to know the step names? Is it for debugging, or maybe the move-to-step API? If it is the later, you might be interested in Allow ILM move-to-step without `action` or `name` by dakrone · Pull Request #75435 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub which is available in 7.15.0+
