You can change the ILM poll interval if needed:

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "transient": {
    "indices.lifecycle.poll_interval": "5s"
  }
}

But I'd not do this in production as the default values seem reasonable to me.

Note that I used transient here. So it won't survive a cluster restart.
Use persistent of you want it to be persistent.

Thanks sir,
I was planning to test the ILM policy that I created with indices of small sizes as roll over condition . So this setting may be helpful for that.
Thanks and regards

Hi @shi

Let me save you a little trouble ... testing lifecycle with small indices and small times, and small sizes will will not perform "Exactly" as you expect there have been a number of threads on this...

See Here and Here

Not to say you can not test... but if you expect indices to rollover at exactly 50MB they will not... Rollover is a background task... ILM is geared to work on indices that of sizes of GBs, hours, days etc... not MB and Minutes.
