In my project we will create index for quarterly basis (i.e 4 indexes per year). I have 2 alias name, one for ingest and another one for search. when a new index is created i want to remove ingest alias alone from previous index why because i want to ingest data to current quarter index but searching should be done in all indexes.Kindly provide the sample yaml file for the same.I'm using curator 5.8. Thanks in advance.

actions:  
1:  
action: alias  
description: \>-  
Create new index on monthly basis with the template settings and mappings.  
options:
