Dear all,  
I have many metricbeat and filebeat that are sending data on kibana. I set up my lifecycle policy eg. 50GB and 30d, but each metricbeat uses as index metricbeat-{version} and I have every time update lifecycle policy for each metricbeat index. Is it possible to join different metricbeat index together under one lifecycle policy?

best regards
