I am creating a policy where I want to perform the rollover to the 10 documents as a test that I am performing but I find that if you are generating the new datastream indexes but the number of documents is greater than 10, this is normal?

Something similar happens when I configure the rollover to run at 5 minutes, the new indexes are generated but spend more than 5 minutes to generate a new index.

This is the policy

```auto

Yes, this is normal, the ILM policy runs on a schedule of 10 minutes by default and you may end with more documents before a rollover is triggered.

Also, check this answer for a similar question: [ILM rollover when max\_docs reached - #2 by Christian\_Dahlqvist](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ilm-rollover-when-max-docs-reached/360455/2)
