How to generate reports or logs when deleting indices via ILM?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to generate reports or logs when indices are deleted as part of an Index Lifecycle Management (ILM) policy in Elasticsearch. Specifically:

*Does Elasticsearch provide built-in reporting or logging for index deletions triggered by ILM?

*How can we track and extract this deletion history for compliance purposes?

*Are there best practices to generate structured reports based on ILM deletion logs?

Any insights or recommended approaches would be greatly appreciated.
