Hello,  
In order to keep data for a long time, I need to perform a rollover (ilm) on a rollup index.  
The idea is that the rollup index does not grow forever.  
I'am a bit confused rollover works with aliases that allows to handle versions of index we want to keep.  
On the other hand rollup does not seem aware of aliases and fills a specific index.  
Please any idea how to handle that ?  
Fay
