I am using ELK stack 7.4.1, I have an ILM policy set but looks like its not working. The maximum index size I set is 50GB.

```
GET /log-test/_ilm/explain
{
  "indices" : {
    "log-test-2019.10.31-000001" : {
      "index" : "log-test-2019.10.31-000001",
      "managed" : true,
      "policy" : "log-dev",

      "action" : "rollover",
      "action_time_millis" : 1572491203419,
      "step" : "check-rollover-ready",
      "step_time_millis" : 1572491203419,
      "phase_execution" : {
        "policy" : "log-dev",

            },
            "set_priority" : {
              "priority" : 100
            }
          }
        },
        "version" : 2,
        "modified_date_in_millis" : 1572490889698
      }
    }
  }
