Hi,  
I'm struggleling with ILM.  
Using Kibana, I've setup a policy where after a day index should be moved to a warm phase and after 3 days they should be moved to a cold phase.  
Unfortunately, even with this policy enable, my index does not move from phase quick enough.

Here is my Policy

This index is from last week and should be in cold phase

This index is from yesterday and should be in warm phase

Also i never seen the Action Status message before, i'm Working on it

If anyone has any information on either of these probleme, some help would be appreciate. Thanks by advance

**waiting for all shard copies to be active,** you can see this message in your second image. google about this msg and you will find a solution. this is related to the replication factor of your index.

set the replication factor of your index to zero and your index will rollover immediately. to do this go to **Index management** -\> **select the required index** -\> select **edit settings** and change **"index.number\_of\_replicas": "0"**.

you can also change the **replication**  **factor** of your index by using **UPDATE INDEX SETTINGS API**.  
PUT /my-index-000001/\_settings  
{  
"index" : {  
"number\_of\_replicas" : 0  
}  
}
