Hey Everyone, I am trying ILM as a possible solution for some project at work, everything was working as expected based on the documentation, until the point I described a delete phase in the ILM policy, the indices are being delete as expected but I noticed the name pattern of new indices created started increasing by 2 instead of 1.
At first I suspected indices were being created and deleted right away, but checking ElasticSearch logs where I can see logs describing the phase transitions for the indices, it seems the "missing" indices were never created, what makes me think this is some kind of bug.
this is the ILM policy definition by the way:
{
"policy" : {
"phases" : {
"warm" : {
"min_age" : "10m",
"actions" : { }
},
"cold" : {
"min_age" : "15m",
"actions" : {
}
},
"hot" : {
"min_age" : "0ms",
"actions" : {
"rollover" : {
"max_age" : "5m"
}
}
},
"delete" : {
"min_age" : "20m",
"actions" : {
"delete" : {
}
}
}
}
}
}
If this is not a bug, could someone please explain how delete phase or the fact that some indices are deleted could affect the name generation for new indices created by rollover?
