Hi experts!
I'm exploring ILM capabilities of Elasticsearch and I run some tests which are not okay.
I would like to create a ILM policy which would create a new index each time the previous one reached 30 documents.
I then started by creating the new policy :
PUT _ilm/policy/test_policy_30_documents
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"actions": {
"rollover": {
"max_docs": "30"
}
}
}
}
}
}
Then I created a template :
PUT _template/template_test_ilm
{
"index_patterns": ["test_ilm*"],
"settings": {
"number_of_shards": 1,
"number_of_replicas": 0,
"index.lifecycle.name": "test_policy_30_documents",
"index.lifecycle.rollover_alias": "test_ilm"
}
}
And finally a first index using the previous alias :
PUT test_ilm-000001
{
"aliases": {
"test_ilm": {
"is_write_index": true
}
}
}
However it doesn't seem to work. When I get to 30 documents, it keeps adding documents to the index and it is not creating a new one.
I was expecting it to create a new index test_ilm-000002 and so on
What am I missing?
Best regards,
