Hi Guys,
I have create a ILM policy which has around 90 indices attached to it.
from the UI I have created a policy and below is the request when I click on show request.
I am enabling the delete phase after rollover from hot phase, enabled warm phase for 7 days and then finally enabling delete phase for min 7 days.
All the task is performed from the UI.
problem : the policy stays for a day and when I see the next day warm phase and delete phase are disabled. I keep enabling it from the UI, but in a day or two it keeps reverting the policy back and disables the warm and delete phase. any help is appreciated.
```auto
PUT _ilm/policy/bananatree
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"min_age": "0ms",
"actions": {
"rollover": {
"max_age": "30d",
"max_size": "150gb"
},
"set_priority": {
"priority": 100
}
}
},
"warm": {
"actions": {}
},
"delete": {
"min_age": "7d",
"actions": {
"delete": {}
}
}
}
}
}
```
