I've been trying to set up ILM policies on a filebeat which has a module enabled for additional data source to process. So, I'll need to apply two different policies to two different indexes on the same filebeat.

ILM policy names:

1. filebeat-7.4.2 \>\> this is the native one used by default by a filebeat.

2. vpc\_flow-policy \>\> a custom policy for flow logs.

Where should I add ILM configurations which would only apply to vpc\_flow-\* indexes and not filebeat-\* ones? I already created ILM in Kibana.

--Thanks
