Hi, After installation on 1 filebeat agent to a new 7.4.1 Elastic cluster, I have the following errors on my filebeat indices: Index lifecycle error illegal_argument_exception: index [filebeat-7.4.1-2019.11.04] is not the write index for alias [filebeat-7.4.1] GET filebeat-7.4.1/_ilm/explain …

My bad, using"index.lifecycle.indexing_complete": "true" to the failed indices and then retry the rollover fixes the issue ( https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.x/skipping-rollover.html )

Index [filebeat-7.4.1-YYYY.MM.DD] is not the write index for alias [filebeat-7.4.1]
