Index Error - Lifecycle Management 6.6 - Elastic Cloud

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I've updated our dev cluster to 6.6 in Elastic Cloud and follow documentation to try and create an Index Life Cycle Policy. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ilm-put-lifecycle.html

Message I get back is:

{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "invalid_index_name_exception",
        "reason": "Invalid index name [_ilm], must not start with '_', '-', or '+'",
        "index_uuid": "_na_",
        "index": "_ilm"
      }
    ],
    "type": "invalid_index_name_exception",
    "reason": "Invalid index name [_ilm], must not start with '_', '-', or '+'",
    "index_uuid": "_na_",
    "index": "_ilm"
  },
  "status": 400
}

Any ideas?

ILM didn't make it to Cloud due to a bug unfortunately, you can follow along here - https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/37541

We expect it won't be far off though :slight_smile:
