Hi Friends...! Hope everyone doing good. Please let me know ILM is available for free in elasticsearch 7.8. Currently I'm using the elastic version of 7.2.1. I want to create index for every 3 months. But the thing is I am ingesting data via alias name not with index name. So I want to remove ingest alias name from old index and want to add in new index. Shall I do this via ILM?. or suggest me any other options. Thanks in advance. ---
