I have multiple indices with same name pattern and I need to rollover about 100 indices using Index life cycle management. I am unable to use same template for all. It is very tedious to generate 100 templates for same indices with same settings just different rollover alias.
I would like to do something like this:
PUT \_template/rollover1
{
"index\_patterns": ["data-test\*"],
"settings": {
"index.opendistro.index\_state\_management.rollover\_alias": "{index}-rollover"
},
"aliases" : {
"{index}-alias" : {}
}
}
{index} placeholder works with alias, all i need is someway to use it with rollover alias

OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance. See [What is OpenSearch and the OpenSearch Dashboard? | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/opensearch) for more details.

As the bot said, we can't really help on that.
But did you look at [Cloud by Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/cloud), also available if needed from [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/Elasticsearch-Inc-Elasticsearch-Service-on-Elastic/B01N6YCISK), [Azure Marketplace](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/elastic.ec-azure?tab=Overview) and [Google Cloud Marketplace](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/endpoints/elasticsearch-service.gcpmarketplace.elastic.co)?
Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to **all features** , all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Vector Search, Security, Monitoring, Reporting, ES|QL, Canvas, Maps UI, Alerting and built-in solutions named [Observability](https://www.elastic.co/observability), [Security](https://www.elastic.co/security) and what is coming next 🙂 ...
