Hello everybody,

To begin I am sorry if it's a simple error that I couldn't solve as I just began working with elastic Stack  
I am getting exceptions in elasticsearch logs `[2020-05-25T11:41:07,095][ERROR][o.e.x.i.IndexLifecycleRunner] [ludonics] policy [auditbeat] for index [auditbeat-7.6.2-2020.05.08] failed on step [{"phase":"hot","action":"rollover","name":"check-rollover-ready"}].
