Index Lifecycle Management "does not point to index" error

[ark516 (arun)]

Thank you @abdon for detailed explanation.
But i have seen a feature to skip rollover and just manage index retention with lifecycles.
Here is the link

Skip rollover | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic

i have been trying to use skip rollover action but ILM tries to roll over even after this setting is configured.
i have a post on this

Skipping rollover option

I have enabled skipping rollover option while using index lifyce cycle policy . But ILM still tries to perform rollover. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/skipping-rollover.html below is the error we see illegal_argument_exception: setting [index.lifecycle.rollover_alias] for index [oracle-alert-fields-2019.47] is empty or not defined we are doing index rollover every day at logstash. we are trying to use lifecycle policy to delete indices whey they are x number…

can you please help on this?
