Hello Team. I'm trying to implement a basic lifecycle policy, in order to delete an index after X hours (this lifecycle policy is just for testing). In my setup, I'm using to beats agents (Winlogbeat and Metricbeat).
I have specified 2 different lifecycle policies with 2 different names, but the two policies essentially have the same function to delete after x hours (but not the same length of time). I'm just starting with ILM, however I'm getting the following error for both policies :
illegal_argument_exception: index.lifecycle.rollover_alias [metricbeat-7.10] does not point to index [metricbeat-7.10]
illegal_argument_exception: index.lifecycle.rollover_alias [winlogbeat-7.10] does not point to index [winlogbeat-7.10]
Also, this error does not happen every time. Sometimes it can go for many minutes, even hours, without showing any ilm errors in Kibana < Stack Management < Index Management. Then again the errors reappear.
I have no idea what is the meaning of these errors, and why they don't come up all the time ? Pls help.
