Hi All,

Could you please help me as I am not able to find proper solution. I do have properly setup of Index lifecycle management policy which runs every 10 min to check if policy met requirements or not.

Is it possible to change timings of firing up the rollover & deletion steps? If yes where I could change that configuration.

Thank you,  
Yanek\_R

Hi All,

After digging deeper I found this:

ILM policies are triggered every 10m by default. This can be changed as a cluster setting:

```auto
PUT /_cluster/settings
{
    "persistent" : {
        "indices.lifecycle.poll_interval": "5s"
    }
}

```

from here : [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/7935](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/7935)

That solution worked for me.

Thanks,  
Jan
