Hi, We have a couple clusters on 6.8 and we're looking into implementing SLM for scheduled snapshots. I'm looking at the documentation and searching on the internet for it but I can't find anything suggesting that SLM is supported on 6.8? Is SLM only a 7.x feature? ---

It was introduced in 7.6 and onwards - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/snapshot-lifecycle-management.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/snapshot-lifecycle-management.html) ---
