Hi,

is there a way to limit indices? For example by number of documents, filesystem size, etc.?

Kind regards,

Lenny

Not like that, not.

[Elasticsearch Curator](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/index.html) can limit the number of indices based on size though.
