Hi Praveen,

It's hard to tell from the snapshot, can you include the output of `GET /issqmetric-2020.05.24-000010/_ilm/explain?human` as well as a copy of the ILM policy (issqmetric) that you're using?

It doesn't look like there are any errors, but just to make sure, is ILM running (you can check with `GET /_ilm/status`).

Okay it looks like it's in the hot/complete/complete step, but the rollover never actually happened?

Do you have an` issqmetric-*-000011` index at all? Is there anything in the logs about this index that may indicate an error?
