Hi,  
I'm using Winlogbeat and i've defined a lifecycle with the following phases: Hot, Warm, Cold and Delete. In Index Management i have indices only for Hot and Warm phases.  
Could someone tell me what is wrong?  
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!

Here is my ILM Policy

{  
"policy": {  
"phases": {  
"hot": {  
"min\_age": "0ms",  
"actions": {  
"rollover": {  
"max\_age": "1d",  
"max\_size": "3gb"  
},  
"set\_priority": {  
"priority": 100  
}  
}  
},  
"warm": {  
"actions": {  
"allocate": {  
"include": {},  
"exclude": {},  
"require": {  
"box\_type": "warm"  
}  
},  
"set\_priority": {  
"priority": 50

The policy you defined only has hot, warm and delete. There's no cold that I can see.

Also that's pretty small. You might want to look at increasing the age and size to something a little larger to make sure you are using your cluster resources effectively.
