Hi Mark,

For the policy :

PUT _ilm/policy/filebeat
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"min_age": "0ms",
"actions": {
"rollover": {
"max_age": "30d",
"max_size": "50gb"
},
"set_priority": {
"priority": null
}
}
}
}
}
}

For the index pattern: filebeat-7.8.0-* linked to ILM Policy filebeat

Index Template Name : filebeat-7.8.0

Head of filebeat-7.8.0 settings:
{
"index": {
"lifecycle": {
"name": "filebeat",
"rollover_alias": "filebeat-7.8.0"
},
"mapping": {
"total_fields": {
"limit": "10000"
}
},
"refresh_interval": "5s",
"number_of_shards": "1",
"query": {
"default_field": [
"message", etc

Hope this can help,
