We have upgraded our elastic from 6.xxx to 7.17.15 version recently. Our elastic policy was working fine in the old instances but not working in the new server. Please find below steps which are performed while creating index. 1. Created the Policy through Kibana. ```auto hot phase: rollover : { maxsize: 50gb }, Delete Phase: min age: 120d ``` this is just information of policy and not the complete policy details. 2) Created the template . 3) Created index and then reindex using below query. ```auto PUT /index-xxxx01 POST _aliases { "actions": [ { "add": { "index": "Index-name-xxxx01", "alias": "aliasName", "routing": "rountingalias" } } ] } ``` 1. One index is created in new server, used below query to get the data from old server. ```auto POST _reindex { "source": { "remote": { "host": https://oldInstancehostName:9200, "username": " ********", "password": " ********" }, "index": "oldindexInstanceName-xxxx16" }, "dest": { "index": "index-name-xxxx01" } } ``` But getting below errors in the console. [2022-10-07T00:01:54,057][INFO][o.e.x.i.IndexLifecycleRunner] [hostname] policy **[policy-name] for index [index-name-xxxx01] on an error step due to a transient error, moving back to the failed step [check-rollover-ready] for execution. retry attempt [282]** **[2022-10-07T00:11:54,057][ERROR][o.e.x.i.IndexLifecycleRunner] [hostname] policy [transaction-fisb-policy] for index [index-name-xxxx01] failed on step [{"phase":"hot","action":"rollover","name":"check-rollover-ready"}].
