Rolling over the index automatically

[akhilsai1499 (Akhilsai Edukulla)]

Rolling over the index automatically when the conditions wont satisfy.
As of now i am explicitly using the conditions whenever i want to insert a document.
Is there any way where we can automatically roll over the index.

The rollover check is triggered by an API call, so is not automatic. You can use cron to trigger Curator to manage this for you. In the next minor release, version 6.6, a new feature called Index Lifecycle Management will be launched. This allows you to configure policies in Elasticsearch that handle rollover and ageing of indices automatically.

We have a policy of not providing release dates, but it is not too far off as it is the next minor release.

I am not sure as I am not a Windows user, but according to the docs it seems you can install using a zip file or MSI installer.

That is the hash used to verify the downloaded package and not the zip file. Use the link next to that one.
