I have 4 node cluster (3 master eligible+data, 1 coordinating node)

Logstash output

```

Everything looks normal, but still index is not rolling over/splitting.  
Can anyone help me with that ?

The rollover date that's being used is cached in the `phase_definition`, you can see:

```auto
        "phase_definition" : {
          "min_age" : "0ms",
          "actions" : {
            "rollover" : {
              "max_size" : "25gb",
              "max_age" : "30d"
            },
            "set_priority" : {
              "priority" : 100
            }
          }
        },

```

That the `max_age` is 30 days, however, the index is only 15.75 days old. If you are expecting it to roll over from size, keep in mind that the 25gb is the _primary_ shard combined sizes, not the entire index size. Perhaps you can share the size of the index?

Yes,  
I misunderstood the indices size.  
It consider pri.store.size, not store.size.

Index rolled over, everything going good.
