Hello Team, I am using ELK stack version 7.9.3 and sometimes I use to get below error when randomly ILM policy stops working and no new index with new date is created and data is getting piled in previous date index. When I have analyzed logs, I am getting below issue.

Hi there, > [@njain213](#): > > I am using ELK stack version 7.9.3 This version is ~3 years old and long past [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) so it's no longer supported. You need to upgrade to a supported version as a matter of urgency. If the problem persists in a supported version then we'll try and help, but most of us don't have time to look into issues that might be long-since fixed. ---

Hi @DavidTurner , We are planning for upgrade in next 3 months but for time being we need some work around to fix this issue to make our production up and running. Hope you can understand. Regards, Naman ---

Sorry, I have nothing to suggest other than to upgrade to a supported version. ---
